Re: AW: RICOH DVD/CDRW MP9120 unter Linux zum Laufen bringen...

Hello,

thank you for your readiness to help! I was not aware, that this is an
english list, as I did the subscription on the german web-page of suse. Sorry.

My question was, how to install the Ricoh DVD/CDRW MP9120 using linux 7.0
(yast does not yet contain this device). As I am not at all a linux expert, I
would need some kind of step-by-step description. Unfortunately, I did not
find a web page or anything dealing with this problem on the world wide web, so
I had the idea to subscribe to this list and ask, if anybody could help me...

Fortunately, John Monaghan is alreadey willing to give me some instructions
:-) so I hope, it will  work in the end!

Best regards,
Juliane
