DVD Hardware Question
by Greg Wallace 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

I have a Windoze machine and a Linux machine running SuSE 8.1 Pro. I am looking to upgrading my SuSE system to 9.3 (I have all of the versions in between in the boxed sets). Both of these machines were originally Wndoze machines from Dell. The Linux box has a CD RW and the Windoze machine has a Samsung 332B CD RW DVD reader device. I want to swap them -- put the DVD reader device on the Linux machine and the CD reader on the Windoze machine. That way I can upgrade my SuSE with the DVDs. Do I have to worry about drivers, or will SuSE have some generic driver that will be able to read from this DVD device? Thanks, Greg Wallace
