/I'm surprised to see that you're using LG CD-ROMs, given the problems 
that Mandrake is having with them in conjunction with their latest 
release. Wouldn't it be prudent to use another manufacturer in 
anticipation that the owner might decide to switch distros at some point?

As a side note I stopped using LG drives about a year ago because I 
found them to be problematic in reading CD-Rs in general either in Linux 
or Micro$oft platforms.
