[rhn-users] Motherboard issue.

[Alfred Hovdestad]

I can't help with your motherboard, but I might be able to help with 
your cdrom.  Nero released NeroLINUX on Feb. 7th and it is available as 
a free download from http://ww2.nero.com/enu/nerolinux-prog.html until 
April 30, 2006.  It might help you with your CD burner.
