No, you are okay there.
Mandrake 9.2 got some problems with LG cd-roms. It can kill the cd-rom when you install Mandrake 9.2
Does Knoppix 3.3 got the same problem?
No, you are okay there.
I think the problem is in recorded (not original) linux cds.
I don't know the reason but when I try to read a linux cd (knoppix, mandrake, suse...) my LG DVD makes some clacks and reads slower.
Maybe LG doesn't wont us to copy linux :P
