No, SuSE does not include the packet writing patch in their
kernels. You have to compile a kernel yourself.
I recently bought the LG-GSA4040B, a burner that supports all types of
DVD including DVD-RAM. I did not play around much with it yet, but one
thing that surprised me, is that when I mounted a UDF CD-RW, it got
mounted read-write, although I have not used the pktcdvd device. Is
that working with all DVD burners or just those supporting DVD-RAM?
Another question: What is the preferable fs for use with DVD-RAMs, UDF
or ext2?
