The point is the code WAS there to initialize the cdrom in mdk6.1 but it was
lost in O2 and never recovered. There are many listed outstanding bugs at
Mandrake that haven't been corrected yet and Mandrake shouldn't release this
product under the guise of being stable if it isn't. I love mandrake just as
much as thext guy, but I think Mandrake really has some QC/QA issues to
address.
Thanx,
