Andreas, I really appreciate your help.
I am still struggling with the audio CD issue. Just before I received your last message, I tried playing an audio CD with both GnomeCD and KsCD, launching these both as user and root. I could get neither of the applications to play an audio CD. I don't think this is a driver issue, but, as you suggested, one of ownership or permissions. When I tried to add myself to the cdrom group, I got the message that "tparks," my username, was already a member. I then executed the second command you suggested. I received no error messages, but I still can't play the audio CD. I am pasting my /etc/fstab file. I thought it a bit strange that Sarge designated the cdrom drive as /media/cdrom0 instead of /mnt/cdrom, as Red Hat and Slackware do. Also, I am accustomed to the device name's listing as /dev/cdrom. Any ideas? Thanks, Ted On Sat, 18 Dec 2004 23:53:36 +0100, Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hello > > Am Samstag, 18.
