Re: [newbie] downloadable 9.2 LG cdroms
Greetings, I was just perusing the Mandrake Linux 9.2- LG CR-ROM drives Errata found here: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/lgerrata.php3 and I noticed what seems to be an error. In the list of systems affected and their respective drives, the LG CRD-8482B (which is the model I have), is noted as having this problem in the Dell Precision 220; rom 1.05. However, in the list of affected drives, the LG CRD-8482B isn't listed, but, is instead listed in the UNaffected model list. Looks like maybe there needs to be an Errata of the Errata? :-) Regards to all. --Angus Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness. -- James Thurber *** ~Linux Powered by Mandrake 9.1~ *** ~Reg.

No they are not. If you look at the 9.2 tree on the mirrors you will see that kernel-2.4.22-10mdk is in the 9.2 folder, if you do a network install you will be using the bad kernel and will kill your LG CD drive. The new kernel is in updates which is too late to help a new install. So just wait a bit until the new iso's are prepared if you have an LG Cdrom (I hope they call the new image 9.2.1 or something.
