any idea if the downloadable isos can still break cdroms or if they have a fixed version?The ftp ISO images (as do the boxed sets) still contain the code that can break a defective LG CD-ROM (not CDRW or DVD). I believe this was so there wouldn't be multiple version of Mandrake 9.0 floating around which would make bug fixes/troubleshooting pretty difficult (plus the CDs were already burned before the bug surfaced).
The good news is that Mandrake has a link to the fix on LG's web site. The link, with a warning, is on the page that lists the various ftp sites for downloading the 9.2 ISOs. In my opinion, it could have been made more noticable, but it is there, none the less.
The other good news, is that even if someone fries their LG CDROM, the link includes instructions on how to fix it after the fact.
I haven't had an opportunity to try the fix (I don't use LG CDROMs), but I have downloaded the fix and all, so that if I install Mandrake on somebody's computer that has it, I can upgrade the firmware before installation.
Hope that helps,
yep, thanks.
