I posted this yesterday, and have not seen it in any succeeding digests, so I am posting again. Sorry if you get two copies of this.
----------------------------------------------------------- This is not specifically a Debian question, or even, really, a Linux question, but I don't know where else to ask. ----------------------------------------------------------- Why do CD-RWs have such ungodly system requirements? I was just looking at a CD-RW (24/10/40) that actually specified Linux compatability (Slackware, but a Linux driver is a Linux driver, I would guess). The box says that it requires a PII 350 MHz (500 MHz recommended for writing) and 64 MB of disk space (128 MB recommended for writing). My P 166 MHz desktop reads and writes to my IDE hard drive at considerably faster speeds, why can't it read and write to an IDE CD-RW? Is that kind of memory and processor speed REALLY required to run these things, and, if so, why? -- Marc Shapiro "If you drink melomel every day, [EMAIL PROTECTED] you will live to be 150 years old, Please visit "The Meadery" at: unless your wife shoots you." http://www.bigfoot.com/~m_shapiro/ -- Dr. Ferenc Androczi, winemaker, Little Hungary Farm Winery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
