SCSI driver's happy and everything else works, as /dev/scd0, just no link from /dev/cdrom. The drive (a burner) is attached to a PCI SCSI card (not a builtin controller). The machine has this one burner on it and no plain CD-R, so I would have expected the link.
Otherwise, nice install. It's a slow old CD drive, but chugged steadily through; even the early time estimates were reasonably close for the first time ever. The machine's a nameless Duron 850 with 128MB of RAM, an 8GB HDD and a (ick) built-in video card. There's an amazing number of useful apps on 8.2 that weren't there on 8.1, but ethereal is the only 8.1 app that I've missed so far. I guess the other absentees were mostly games, not that there's any shortage of those in 8.2... Thanks, all, for what looks like a great job. I'm spreading copies of 8.2 around as fast as I can, and donating $AUD5.00 to Mandrake for each set I sell (at close to cost, nett) or $AUD50 for each set I install commercially. One of the local Linux shops donated a whole heap of dollars when they discovered that they could, and now have a direct deposit arrangement for the ongoing donations. Cheers; Leon
