Wasn't there something on this list earlier about someone having trouble installing from a LG dual drive? He thought it was due to scratched cds, but as it turned out, everything seem to be pointing to this LG DVD/CDRW combo drive?
my problem with the LG combo DVD/CDRW drive is that it failed to install off the DVD (Hung at the package selection step) and it isn't recognised as a DVD drive on the desktop (It's only come up as a cdrecorder although I can actually read DVDs and to get Ogle GUI to work correctly, I've made a symlink so the /dev/dvd that Ogle is looking for points to /dev/cdrecorder) My other hassle is that I can't get DMA to switch on for this drive (hdc), but this could be a mobo problem as I couldn't get DMA to work with an ordinary DVD drive before hand. I've yet to try burning CDs with it, as I'm a bit annoyed that my CD burning software of choice appears to have disappeared (KreateCD).
