LG CD-ROMs Destroyed by Mandrake 9.2

Posted by michael on from the whoopsie dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The latest offering of Mandrake's distribution, 9.2, has been found to not only be incompatible with some LG CD-ROM drives, but to destroy them during the installation process. Mandrake have posted information on their errata page and further information can be found on this thread [google]. Along with over 350Mb of updates within a week of release, it's not been a good start for this latest release."

    Supposedly, users' monitors died because of frequency in the drivers. Newsgroup threads for details.

    Wow, that's some kind of record in karma-whoring. :-)

    I maxed out on karma long ago. I just wanted everyone to see what I had to say.

    Well what you said wasn't particularly insightful and just sidetracks the discussion.

    Actually it was insightful. That's why it was modded up. Come back when you have an ID to post under.
