I did not buy it. That is why this mail list is so wonderful. It's more
like a support group than it is paid-for-support.
Actually, I'm waiting until a distro comes complete with a stable
2.4 kernel and other support (won't show long list) before I buy.
This is where my investigating a distro comes in.
I know Mandrake will support things like cd-r(w)s -- again, they
have great out-of-the-box hardware support -- but if your cd-r(w) did
not work in Mandrake for some reason, likely they would've pointed
you to -- or read to you over the phone -- the same stuff that Brian
pointed out to you.
He gave you good information. He said it doesn't fall under what
their installation support covers because the distro itself, on its
own, does not "support" cd-r(w)s without kernel "adjustments".
That's not being in it for themselves, that's giving you information on
how to do something that is not part of the paid-for support.
Aside from Mandrake (perhaps there's another, too), this isn't
uncommon.
I don't know... perhaps another example of a "for-themselves" reply
from Stormix will make me understand your point better.
In any case, this mail list has been nothing short of miraculous
when it comes to getting good info in a timely manner... stuff that
even I, a non-geek-programmer-type person, can understand.
Thanks guys!
