I'm wanting to purchase one of the newer CD-RW cdrom's, either a HP or Philips 8x, my question is can this drive work correctly. I'm running SuSE 6.4 with 2.2.14. I also need to know if I can install it as a slave to my regular cdrom drive so I could burn a cd if I wanted to. If this is possable, how would you identifiy from the desktop which one or both cdroms to be mounted, or would this confuse the system and lock it up?
Thanks Michael
I know that there is people on this list that are using the Philips CDRW. Have read of a few problems. I don't use either the HP or Philips. I have always used Yamaha (SCSI) and never had any trouble with them under linux. I would suggest a scsi cdrw over an IDE for the faster data rates. If you mean having the cdrw as say, secondary slave and the cdrom as secondary master, should be no problems. You can mount either cd or both at the same time. Just give the cdrw a separate mount point, such as cdrw or cdrom1. hope this helps nevada -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
