Yes, you need to edit the permissions file. The line you'll probably want to look at for your hd* devices is: hd[a-s]:root:disk:0660 You'll want to change disk to cdrom. (or, alternately, you can just add yourself to the disk group.) > However, in /.dev, I have: > > ll /.dev/hd[cd] > brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2004-03-23 16:48 /.dev/hdc > brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 64 2004-03-23 16:48 /.dev/hdd This is just a copy of your pre-udev device entries. They're not used for anything, they're just pretty much there for your reference. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
