I have a DVD drive and it appears as a CD-ROM. It definitely *works* as a DVD, however. We watch movies on Ubuntu all the time. When running the live CD, if you put a blank DVD in there, does it offer to write to it? Have you tried it? It might just work. The CD-RW drive we have on a Windows PC actually works much better in Linux than it does in Windows. I had a burn a CD recently and the easiest method was just reboot the PC with the Breezy live CD, grab the data via Samba from the Ubuntu PC and then burn it. -Eamonn -- ubuntu-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk
