Hi, I have a comment and a question. Installing: ----------- First, once I have Debian running I really like it. Especially the apt-get solution for upgrading. However, I have installed Debian on 3 different workstations and 1 file server and the process was very different each time. From the point of choosing which device driver modules I want to getting everything working. Why? One time I choose the simple method for choosing packages and then it didn't give me a choice but just installed a minimal set and quit--e.g., no man command or pages!
cdrom and audio: ----------------- I want one of my workstations to be an MP3 server. It is a Pentium 150, 48 MB of RAM, and 15 GB HD. I installed Afterstep, and a bunch of cd/audio/mp3 software from the potato cd. My problem is cdrom won't read audio cd's but I can mount data cds. If I run: I get the message: Grip 2.91 "Unable to open the cd device. Please make..." gtcd 1.0.51 "Error accessing the cdrome device.... Reason: Permission denied." similarly with other cd audio software. I have an internal, ATAPI cdrom. My fstab for cdrom is /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro.user,noauto 0 0 And /dev/cdrom is soft-linked to /dev/hdc. Permissions (when I do ls -l): drwxr-xr-x 2 root root /cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 /dev/hdc How do I fix this? _____________________________________________________________ Sign up for FREE email from canada-11 at http://www.canada-11.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
