Thanks for verifying that the DVD-RW works (I was worried about that!). My motherboard is an Asus A7V, with a Promise PDC20265 ide controller which I do have compied into the kernel. I have 3 HDDs plugged in, along with a CD-RW - all work fine. The thing that is a bit strange to me - It does spin the drive up at the appropriate time, but can't seem to write it. In the other thread I make mention that the permissions are r-x across the board, but that I can't seem to change that (even as root)? Also, you are correct k3b does wrap growisofs. There is actually a bug logged on kde devel site where the k3b developer (Sebastian?) notes the same bug, but points out that it's not a k3b issue, it's a growisofs issue. I did email the developer of growisofs, but haven't heard anything as yet. Again, my suspicion is that its ME and not any of the programs involved! Thanks for the help, Bill. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
