For your situation,sorry tell you that our drives don`t support Linux system, we suggest you put the drive on another PC which runs Windows2000/XP for further use,due to we have done complete testing for this drive. Any additional questiaons,we look forward to hearing from you.

Yes I've heard this from them also. But my LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1P works fine with openSUSE 11.0 and 10.3. It was recognized at installation and I did not have to do anything special. It bad news when vendors won't support their products. Memorex, Seagate and Maxtor will tell you the same thing.   -- Russ Linux register user 441463 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
