Thanks ernst and everybody else who responded ! As I read it, I think I'll try the lite on 48x 24x 48x CD-RW Drive which is offered by the company where I bought this computer.
You're note on scsi made me think I'll probably need that too - and I don't have it yet. I did a search on "scsi emulation" but I got limited results - one of the best is http://www.apexdesignsllc.com/linux_6.htm but it is SUSE specific and the line in /etc/modules.conf "alias scsi_hostadapter off " isn't there Can anybody provide a howto on scsi emulation in Debian ? I'm using a 2.2.20 kernel and I hope I don't have to compile a hole new kernel for this scsi emulation; I mention this as I found somebody else had probs on it in a 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/debian-user-200211/msg03294.html) Thanks for any help, Joris --- "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mike Dresser wrote: > > On Sat, 29 Mar 2003, Joris Huizer wrote: > > > > > >>Hello everybody, > >> > >>I have a simple question: which cd writer do you > >>people recommend to buy for use with Debian (and > >>windows 98) ? > > > > > > I'm using a 48x lite-on that usually sells for > 20-30 dollars after > > rebates.
