Re: Re: (clug-talk) UDMA or DMA Support on my DVD

[Johnny Stork]

Sorry, yes RH 8, Mandrake 9.... Also cant get any of my MP3's to play through XMMS when running through my jukeboxes (Netjuke and Andromeda), worked on all previous RH back to 5 something and also with Mandrake up to current version 9. This one is REALLY an annoyance since I play my 3000+ mp3's all day when working. Please let me know if you get UDMA/DMA working and I will also post if I come across a fix. Ya know if both Mandrake and Redhat combined the best of each I would sure be happy. I am sure other distros have other great features not in either so maybe in time....... > > > -----Original message----- > From: "Trevor Lauder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: 11/15/2002(Fri) 10:09am > Subject: Re: (clug-talk) UDMA or DMA Support on my DVD > > You mean RH 8 right?
