Hi,

I've just installed Mandrake 10.0 Official Edition and (almost) everything
seems to be working well. I'm really impressed that my modem (a Sagem
F@st 800 USB ADSL thing) works with no problems.

One thing remains on a hardware front - I've got an IDE DVD-RAM drive (an
LG GSA-4081B). I can read DVD-RAM disks but can't write to them. Are
there any special drivers/files/settings that I need to accomodate DVD-RAM
drives?

Many thanks.

David
