NON MS DOS
Calum:
windows 98 will not run my cdwriter drivers on this laptop (it's a mitsubishi usb cdrw) and win2000 freezes on install.
I need a dual boot because linux cannot use my modem to connect to the internet, and my cdrw cannot be used in linux. it is possible that there is no driver but i will never know since cdrecord does not support usb writers (requiring a scsi/usb map, which i am not clever enough to try, even if i knew i had the right drivers)
also, you never said, is DR-DOS free?
choasforages:
i think it supports cdwriters by defualt, atleast suse and redhat do i think, ill have to check with my friend, im pretty sure that firewire drives are fully supported, cuase on the linux1394 sight it said that they work great,

You should, but when microsoft rolled out with win 3.1 they added code that would give bogus error messages to people who weren't using ms-dos.
