I'm confused by your post - are you saying that XP Pro won't regognize the burner for what it is, or that Knoppix won't, or both?
Good luck

Able to boot using PXE on our home lan. My goal is to install Knoppix on the hard disk but only if I am able to utilize the DVD-/+ CD-/+ combo drive burner. I've downloaded MediaLinux as well as dvdauthor6 and am open for any suggestions. My laptop came with XP Home installed and was "upgraded" to Pro before I bought it and for the life of me I am unable to make the os recognize the optical drive for what it really is... a burner combo not just a dvd player and cd burner.
Thanks,

You are correct, I am saying that XP Pro won't regognize the burner for what it is. As for Knoppix I'm unable to determine if it does as it doesn't seem to have any DVD authoring apps which is why I've downloaded Medialilnux.iso and dvdauthor6 as possible solutions. I'm wondering if it would be easier to do an apt get (which I have not done yet) with dvdauthor6 or install MediaLinux what do you think?Originally Posted by j.drake
A quick way to check if it recognized the burner is cdrecord -scanbus when booted from Knoppix if it is seen then you would have to install to the HD to be able to include a line in the /etc/apt/sources.list to install the latest k3b which supports writing to DVD.Originally Posted by gonefishing

You need these lines in the sources.list file:Originally Posted by gonefishing
Then you would dselect update and apt-get -s install k3b if the output of the command looks good then remove the -s to actually install. The editing of the file and the commands done as root.Code:## K3b sources for sarge requires KDE > 3.1.2 from SID deb http://www.planet-moll.de/debian sarge main
