[opensuse] dvd question
I have just ordered 11.0. I understand I need a double layer DVD drive to install this. Since I don't have one, I wonder if anyone has used Lite-On DH-20A4P, which claims to do everything, but only claims to work with Windows OS's. And while we're at it, does it record Light-Scribe? (Yes I have visited their site, and also the Linux compatibility site, which is very confusing and virtually useless. There used to be a better one.) --doug Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

You don't need any special drive to read a double layer DVD disc. Only reason to worry is if you want to burn a double layer, then you need a double layer burner. Since you ordered the media, it will work just fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

A good place to start looking at the issues with Linux is... http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ probably a slight case of overkill.
