[ Note, I work for HP (but NOT on the 4020i), so take this posting accordingly. ] The 2.1.5R release supposedly does support the 4020i, if a patch (from Joerg Wunsch) is applied. I've got a copy of the patch, if anyone is interested, although I have not tested it. The 4020i has been supported in -current for quite some time, and I know that it's worked at least since 2.2-snap-960612, as that's what I'm (still) using to burn CDROMs using a 4020i. I assume that it still works in 2.2-snap-960801, but I haven't tested it. -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
