Because cp will completely foul up device files. Try copying /dev/mem from

Thank you all! :-)
I know am completely unsure of what to do! (jk!)

hey folks,
I hate to ask such a general question, but I am looking to by an IDE CD

I have had great success with a Memorex CDRW (cant remember the model
number, but its an ATAPI IDE 4x write / 2x rewrite / 8x read) . The only
issue I had when configuring the drive for writing was loading it as a
SCSI emulated CD drive. Currently the software for burning CD's only

Leave netscape running for a few days. Not even doing anything and
watch the mem usage. Its got memory leaks. sometimes bad. The only
