I got a little hasty with the send button... I was able to get it to recognize the ipod and use it correctly finally. I added the mountpoint /media/ipod into the "cdrom" group (of which I'm a member) and now I'm able to have full read/write access to it. It also automounts now as well. I'll probably still upgrade to the 2.6 kernel though just to see if it acts any different. -- - Josh www.omg-stfu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
