I tried CD-Rs, my FC4 cds started up just fine.
Does linux have problems with CD-RWs? I've been trying to install Mandrake/Mandriva and use CD-RWs. I got errors and looked it up, said something about the burn speed. So I burned it at 4x. Didnt seem to help. So does linux not load off CD-RWs? No matter the distrobution or burn speed, it just doesnt seem to load off a CD-RW. I havent tried a CD-R because I dont want to waste one.
