 i installed new hardware to my my computer. Namely ide cd-dvd rw. The
 device is presenting in /dev directory but i can not see it in file
 manager. i can not use it. What is correct way to install new hardware to
 debian machine? I have newest debian on my computer.
 Thanks in advance,

Because there is an entry for the device in /dev, Debian recognised it and has 
a driver for it.

I think that you still must add your userid to the group that has access to the 
device. First, find out the device's group:

$ ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-rw---T+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 jan 30 11:45 /dev/sr0

In my case, the device's name is /dev/sr0. It may differ in your situation.

Then, as root, add your userid to the devices group:
# adduser andrey cdrom

I assume that your userid is andrey...

Then, log out and log in again, until then the group change will have no effect.

 Thanks for the reply. I read the reference but no joy. My login problem 
 is happening at the kdm level before the OS is even started (I think). 
 How does one activate /deactivate the initial login screen. I know this 
 is possible. I think I set this up when I initially installed Debian 
 from the iso network installation disk. I probably prompted me through 
 the process at the time. I have since completely forgotten what I did at 
 the time. I think I need to re configure kdm somehow.

In normal circumstances that should not be necessary.
Note that username and password must match exactly, and that the username 
should not contain uppercase letters or weird characters. It is usually 
safest to stick to the set a-z0-9 for the username.
If the username is ok, then the password might mismatch.
Try resetting it to some easy value (temporarily!) by issuing the command (as 
root user):
passwd username
(where you replace username by your wife's username of course).
If that does not help, something strange is the matter and further 
issue-solving will be needed.
