If you are a current Gentoo user you really need not re-install. Just do an `emerge -Davu world` and keep up to date. The releases are mainly for installation images and stages and not applicable to current Gentoo users. -MikeOn 8/12/05, A. Khattri [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, 12 Aug 2005,

My guess is that you have a permissions problem with your DVD device (/dev/hdc). Check the permissions there. Mine looks like this: brw-rw 1 root disk 22, 0 Mar 10 12:47 hdc If that is your case just `gpasswd -a yourusername disk` and you should be good to go. Don't bother trying to change
