Hi Guys,
This Linux business is all new to me - I am in my seventies and am not computer illiterate having used Windows for the past 18 or so years. I run a couple of Windows computers in a network each running different versions of Windows.Just recently I decided to give Linux a go, so purchased Suse V 11 which I loaded on to my elderly Socket 462 computer. I do not usually use the Internet very much but mainly use the computer for playing Cd's and a bit of e-mailing. This Socket 462 machine is dual booting with XP as the default for now.
Having loaded the software I find that although I can e-mail and browse the internet neither of my CD/DVD drives is recognised - it would appear that I have some files missing. can anyone give some assistance with this problem, as I really like what I have seen so far with Linux as compared with the Windows product.
Hopefully,
Allen.
