I've just installed Mandrake on my laptop, an IBM Thinkpad 600E.
It came with a docking station.
I'd like to buy a CD burner and went to Harvey Norman's
Positively State-of-the-Art, Cutting-Edge
Why-Does-Anyone-Else-Bother Store.
I left, having been fed more ragblag than is contained in a
sociology PhD thesis.
Can anyone advise me on this, please? I need an external
burner---called, in some magazines, a kit. I *think* I want an
IDE type that will simply plug into the USB on the docking
station. If I need a power supply (ie., the kit doesn't come with
one) I can make it.
I *don't* think I need software. There are, I think, two
programmes that came with Mandrake that will do the job.
I do not greatly care about speed, being quite happy to start the
burner and let it get on with the job.
Does anyone know of anything else to which I should pay
attention? I'm feeling my way here and any help would be
gratefully received.
Bill Bennett.
