I am running kernel 2.4.27-2-386 and do use ide-scsi-emulation. I had to change change group and permissions on /dev/sg* and I had to link /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd7 (don't know why it's number seven). I hope this was the right thing to do, at least it's working now ;-) Thanks to everybody who answered. With ripperX and grip I had two more candidates to test, though I prefer console applications. So I concentrated on 'abcde' and 'jack'. I somehow prefered 'abcde' over 'jack' but unfortunately it did not rename wav's (only encoded files) while jack did. But -hey!- this is free software, so I made a trivial change to 'abcde' and now it does what I want... :-) Thanks a lot, Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
