If turning DMA on works, and you are satisfied --- use it!   T :-)   ----- Original Message ----- From: gikoreno To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 12:12 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Burning frustration Hey John, sorry to have taken so long to reply. I tried taking away the none in the fstab, but it didn't work. I think that's the way it is supposed to be on Mandrake 9.0. It turned out the reason why it wasn't burning at a decent speed was DMA related. I turned DMA on as per the other posts and it worked. Knowing how people warn on the reliability of CD-ROMS when coupled with DMA, I am not convinced it's the best idea (will corruption follow?), but the performance of the system definitely went tremendously up. So I guess I'll figure it out soon. Thanks! gikoreno Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
