I knew that. I have done that.
what does "beyond the scope of installation support" mean?
what's the difference between somebody paying $70 and somebody getting
a free downloaded version that's no worse? the only difference is that
the download is free of SuSE style shovelware.
IMO, for the price they may have to offer a bit more, it's just
WNWM question. Mandrake has been supporting ATAPI CD-RW out of the
box for three releases now.
The CD-R issue was just an illustration, I haven't mentioned other
ones, like a Promise Ultra66, for one. Yet another one that works with
Mandrake out of the box since two releases back. I can do all the
tinkering with free Debian, if I want.
I am not here to bash them, I want them to succeed. In order to do
that they need to listen to the market they try to crack.
Again, Storm Linux is good, but it *must* become better, if they want
to skim support costs, or the company has to offer better support.
i realize that it's not easy for them to survive, that's why I paid
for the shiny disks in the first place :)
best to all
