I will likely be making an upgrade to a burner very soon, so I will just hang tight as to what will be the status of my present LG CD-ROM concerning Mdk 9.2. I can wait a while longer for 9.2, since 9.1 is working so darn well here for me. I just love my Mandrake. ;-) This list is really the clincher too. Thanks a lot ppl, your insight is appreciated.
