Chances are if it crashes one machine and another won't read it, that the CD-ROM itself is bad, not the reader.... If you purchased the CD (as opposed to burning it yourself), get in contact with the LinuxPPC people and ask for an exchange... > Perhaps I'll buy a SCSI CD, I hate IDE junk. Your 7300 (I think, and AppleSpec backs me up) has a SCSI CD-ROM, so it's probably not the drives. HTH --Nelson Abramson ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
