add external CD Rom drive??

I bought a LG External super muti DVD rewritrer. it does everythying. problem is I can't get it to install fully. any ideas?

 

I do not understand what you meant by "full install". Any extra info for us please...

 

It won't install Nero, everything else seems to install.

 

Nero is only software separate from CD/DVD burner - but you know that obviously. Are you getting any communicate from installer?? What OS you use - Linux or Windows??

 

I am using Linpus lite. Yes I can get it to power up, but it won't play a CD. can I sudo install nero?

 

afaik Nero is a Windows program so you are not going to install into Linpus .

Try using K3b, it is a superb blowing prog like Nero used to be before it became bloated and expensive.

Nero was very good on Windows but K3b even is better.

regards

 

Further Info.

I have used K3B on the AAO with a USB DVD R/W.

Initially K3B could not find the USB drive, just like several years ago when the 2.6 kernel was
changed and it broke K3B using ext USB drives.

So I downloaded and installed gnomeBaker from www.acer.com/aspireone.
Firstly, turn the music off on the flash menu .
On the left, select Drivers & Support from the roll over menu then in Files there is gnomeBaker.

I did not run gnomeBaker. Instead I burnt Linux Mint onto a R/W -R DVD using K3B.

So K3B works.

I have looked at Nero's site and Nerolinux is avaliable for about USD 25.

 

there is a linux version of nero, its not free but it does work great, just as good as windows version on my main pc, unfortunately i do not have a USB burner to test it with on my AAO but it should work fine
