Yeah, i've been frustrated.  i've got one computer (the PC) that for 
some reason i can't get linux to load on, and my laptop is DOA for 
an unknown reason (has something to do with an accidental drop a 
while back, but it worked afterwards).  I've been extremely frustrated 
with both all day, as i've been tearing apart the laptop and re-
assembling it and jumping back to the PC to try to see what i can do 
linux wise with it.  it's been real difficult, and i'm getting so ticked off 
because the instructions sound SO simple but it's just completely 
eluding me.  kinda like one of those moments when you're walking 
through your house in the dark in the middle of the night looking for 
the bathroom and you're half awake and you can't seem to find the 
light switch...i think we've all been there.  ok, well, i'm calm now and 
ready to try at this again if anyone is willing to help me at this 
point......

It's a phillips, that's about all i know.  i can't find a listing of the model 
number.  i'm prolly going to have to open up the computer to get that 
part.  can't find anything in windows itself to tell me what the model 
number of the cd drive is.  i'll get to that and get back to you with 
that info......


> 5 - what cd burner prog are you using?

NTI CD Maker 2000 Plus.....OEM version for my CD drive

no firewalls
