Good man, you know it makes sense <*gg*> I rarely boot into Windoze these days now I have Quake III running smoothly under Linux I don't have any reason too :-) > > Good luck! > -- > Mark Wagnon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks for the response, see other post (accidentally posted this twice, just managed to get my mailserver working :-) ) In my case it was the symlink for /dev/cdrom that was wrong. once I corrected this it worked fine. If you are going to set up your burner under Linux, I would just like to point out a caveat I fell for. I compiled ide-scsi emulation into the kernel and couldn't get it to work (someone reading this I expect could tell you how as I am still a newbie *gg*). So I recompiled the kernel with it as a loadable module, and compiled into the kernel scsi-support and generic-scsi. This works fine. HTH Regards Wayne.
