Hello, I am wondering if anyone has experiences (good or bad) with using either of these CDROM devices under debian. I have the opportunity to borrow the debian (or other dists) CD next week, and want to make sure it is possible to use these devices to install.
When I got the base system up on the Thinkpad-560, the QuickCD spun up and down a few times, and spit out messages ever few seconds when spun down. Perhaps there is a way to get it to stay spun up? I get the impression that linux expects it that way. I think I am getting over my head trying to find and download (via modem and AOL) the debian packages I need to get an X-Windows system up and running. BTW, I am grabbing "peanut", and should have it all in a few hours, so I can at least see how this machine performs with X Windows, and to satisfy my linux curiosities until I can get debian. Many thanks in advance for any good/bad news/info, John ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
