Greetings all; I'm back from a week out in Nebraska, getting a son married off. I hope that you didn't get too many bounces as my mailbox was full when I got X running again, which had died due to my changing the default prompt in bash, which in turn screwed up the X startup, it would get to the mouse intialization, report success in the log, but hang at that point with no further disk activity.
Anyway, on arrival here, it appears my 2nd tape drive in as many months is in the process of dying. I recently bought a DVD+-RW, drive and a 25 pack of +- media. While its burnt several cdr's just fine, the media I have appear to not be compatible with cdrecord unless I buy the cdrecord-DVDPro version from Jeorg. I probably can, the $ is not a huge problem. What I'd like from this group is some pointers on setting up the use of this dvd drive as a 4.7GB tape equivalent. I'd be glad to be somebodies "guinea pig" :-) -- Cheers, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty. Soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
