9.0 support is provided on the expert or newbie mailing lists: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/flists.php3 or alternatively at: http://www.mandrakeexpert.com This list is for development of the next version of Mandrake. Unfortunately, we can't be sure if the problem that prevented your DVD drive from working has been fixed or not in the current release. If you'd like to install cooker and see if you're still having problems and then report back on that we can be of assistance, otherwise the above urls will be helpful. You can find details about cooker here: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "If you're not making any mistakes, you're flat out not trying hard enough." - Jim Nichols
