Most interesting part of the whole mix...I used the Creative cdrw 4224 to
both burn and install the OS...LOL
as far as the other hardware I am running an AMD K6-3 450 on a Gigabyte
GA-5AX mainboard...Ali Aladdin Bios with the most recent update provided by
Gigabyte with 128 megs of ram...Nvidia TNT2 video card and everything
performs well except the Creative cdrw 4224 drive...my zip drive is ok as
well as both hard drives....sure would like to get this little problem
worked thru....I am getting tired of manually changing cd drives to access a
cdrom in linux

you might be better served if you also wondered:
' it isn't the OS...it is the equipment
and the way it is attempting to address the OS. '
?? (I suspect bios/motherboard/etc is in this mix too)
BTW, how good is Creative at providing Linux developers with
spec's for all the hardware they re-badge ?? or encouraging the
manufacturer that really made that CD-RW to do the same .... ?
