SuSE signs up key software partner, Oct 27, 2003

Veritas and SuSE announced on Monday that they will cooperate in sales as well as technology.

"The relationship between the two companies will enable joint engineering, joint support and joint marketing so we can sell into each other's customer bases," said Ranajit Nevatia, director of Veritas' Linux strategy.

In January, Veritas will begin selling SuSE versions of two of its key server products--two years after it began offering Red Hat versions. The company plans to make the announcement at LinuxWorld Frankfurt.

Webmaster's note: This is the verbatim entry on Mandrakesoft's errata page

Error scenario: Installing 9.2 and being told unable to install the base system and subsequent reboot reveals that CD-ROM drive is physically dead.

Why: According to LG Electronics, their ODD (Optical Disc Drive) products do not support Linux nor do they test with Linux. Unfortunately, many Dell computers (possibly others) come with these CD-ROM drives. Solution: Currently there is no solution or work-around for this issue; it is still under investigation. Damage occurs even when doing a network install. At this point, please do not install Mandrake Linux 9.2 on any computer containing a LG-based CD-ROM drive or it will damage your CD-ROM drive! We are actively looking for a solution to this problem.
