SBLive! w/o using cable to CD

I have an SBLive! Value installed (using the 2.2.18pre21 kernel driver). It seems as though the "CD" plug on the card is bad, since I've tried changing both the cable (3 different ones) and the CD-ROM drive, and still can't play CDs. So far I've been able to use grip to copy an audio CD into .wav f

I'm assuming the machine is a PC. Usually you can't add IDE disks without rebooting, also I'm not sure it's a good idea to mess with the cables while the power is on. IDE disks are identified by the BIOS at boot time. Zip IDE disks are an exception : the BIOS does nothing to support them. As f

Even better than that, mutt understands lists. Put this in your .muttrc: subscribe debian-user@lists.debian.org Then mutt will know that that address is a list. Also, you will want to change the "index_format" string otherwise all messages will have "debian-user" as the name. This is easy to
