HI, Niel. Thanks for your reply. All of the permission boxes are cheked, so I uncheked all of the "user" boxes just to see if anything happened...nothing changed. I would like to mount both /dev/cdrom and /dev/scd ideally. I am able to post to a forum connected to some cd burning software.....prehaps someone there might have the answer, I'll try there. cheers, Jon DAvey. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
