Or, if none of you think there's any point in having a DVD drive in FreeBSD, a good CD drive. I bought a new Shuttle system recently just for FreeBSD, and I somehow managed to choose the only CD-ROM drive that FreeBSD 5.0 doesn't seem to recognise. A Samsung SC-152 CD-ROM drive that WinXP is quite happy with, but FreeBSD sysinstall just says "CD drive? What CD drive?" So, can anyone recommend a DVD+CD-ROM drive that they are as-good-as-certain will appear unto FreeBSD 5.0 and above? --- Bob
