I am successfully using a Plextor W1610a 16x10x40 drive on RH 7.1 and haven't had any problems getting the drive to burn at max speeds. I'm not sure which brand of CD-RW Dell is bundling in the Precision 340, but I just thought you might like to know that the Sony model listed on RH's site isn't the only one that works. Also, you can find some great tips for setting up CD-RWs here: http://www.nber.org/cdrecord.html Hope this helps. -Tom _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
