The hardware issues with 700MB CDs normally don't show on CDROM drives. Though I'm sure there are some out there that don't like them. Mostly you just don't want to record redbook audio on 700MB CDs. A lot of CD players won't play them, even when they will play 650MB CDRs. Doesn't even matter if you don't use the extra time. But I don't think it'll be a real issue for Mandrake CDs for the vast majority. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
