Hi Tarun,

Had this been a DVD hardware specific issue, I can't understand why nero is
able to burn? Any ways I would like to use Mandriva 2007. But I have a
problem,
I have a pretty good amount of "compiled" software installed on the current
installation. "/home" directory is fine as it houses on a separate
partition but
all other (like root, usr etc) are on single partition. If I install
2007, I would loose
the installations, which I don't want to! Any work around for that?

Please send me the 2007 DVD if possible. My address is
Himanshu Chauhan

Technopark, Trivandrum
Kerala 695581

Thanks

Regards
--Himanshu
