In the Mandrake 7.2 documentation, it says that any IDE CD-R drives present will be recognised on installation, but that did not work on my system. I ave both Linux and Win98 installed on my IBM Aptiva 2138-E83 (PII 300 MHz). My CD-R is a Mitsumi CR-2801TE set as master on IDE bus 2. The CR-2801 is listed as supported hardware on the hardware page at www.linux-mandrake.com. Is there a difference between the plain CR-2801 and the TE drives? I'm not into recompiling the kernel and such, so I'd be grateful for an easy solution ;) Niklas Ramsberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
