Thanks for the info, Lonnie. That helped a lot. Now I've decided to skip the dvd writing. I really only wanted to read dvd and write to cd; so I'm looking at a Plextor Combo that does that. It says that DMA must be enabled and give directions for doing so in Windows. I'm thinking this will mean recompiling this into my kernel. I have two machines - one is a Walmart Microtel and that has several of the DMA selections enabled in the kernel. I'm not sure what it has in the Lindows kernel, but I installed plain Debian 3.0 on it and it gave me a kernel with DMA. My other computer is one I put together about 3 years ago. It has an Ultra DMA 66, but the kernel does not have any of the DMA selections made. I think that is because I did a fresh compile of the kernel and had to figure out what to select. I'm thinking I'll try a fresh install of debian on that machine to see what I end up with in the kernel. Or, I might just try a recompile with whatever looks good under DMA. This is the computer I want to put the Plextor in. Does this make sense? Corrections or advice appreciated. -- Anita GnuPG key: 1024D/9EDAC910 _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
