I just wanted to warn every for the goldstar 8X cdrom (580b) I just installed linux mandrake but havent been able to do so because my atapi goldstar cdrom somehow just died in the install process. When i tried the text install i switched screen i got the error message from the installer: "Lost irc" or something similar. fix? change cdrom :) ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
