The Mandrake site makes the claim ... "These drives are not compatable with Linux" Can anyone clarify, if the drives are not compatable with linux, or just with Mandrake Linux ........ In short, how serious is this issue for The lug,, None of my drives are LG, so I cannot offer anything other than questions at this time. On Sat, 2003-10-25 at 16:56, Linux Shop wrote:
Do not install Mandrake 9.2 on LG based CD-ROM drives.
Many people have reported that their CD drives are fried/broken when installing Mandrake 9.2. LG drives are common on Dell PCs.
See: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ http://www.mandrakeclub.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Splatt_Forum&file=viewtopic&topic=12568&forum=9&post_id=44542
The issue is not thought to affect any other CD-ROM drives.
Apologies to those that have read this message more than once, but it is important to let people know ASAP.
