I still have to check out Open Suse in all its glory. I wasnt hanging around there to share the pain..I was slogging it out in the hospital instead..Maybe another day of tinkering and format the whole drive using just one of the OS’s. It is a hassle to get everything on the same thing. Sucks but I have no option. I have to bend over backwards to make the things work.

ah. i was talking about the installer system and the system configuration panel… ubuntu’s make more sense to me perhaps because i am used to it.

” Yast is pretty disappointing compared to the similar thing in Ubuntu!”

There’s NO such thing in ubuntu like Yast.

i always burn at the slowest speeds for this particular reason.

my car’s audio system also has issues with cds burnt at fast speeds.

the laptop is not reading the disc which we had used earlier to install ubuntu on it.

so it’s definitely a hardware problem.

I dumped openSUSE for Ubuntu because the packaging/update system (RPM/YUM based) sucks a little. Wireless sometimes (like mine) needs some command-line tinkering to get working properly.

Hmmm, are you saying the DVD drive itself also does not read CDRs *outside* the OS (for booting ISOs), indicating a hardware rather than software issue?

Try burning a CDR/ISO at low speed, maybe 4x or 8x max and not at the highest speed of 52x or whatever… some drives dont work well with CDRs burnt on other drives at high speed…
