Speaking of which... you are guilty of the same criime, brother, that others made on this list. How are you going to point out the problem without providing the solution? That is just wasting space and time. Chances are people are hurriedly reading and answering the list, while hoping that the person receiving help from them has enough IQ to "substitute" the driver we specified with one that he was given... correction, had given us in the list. You forgot to mention the device, also while we are pointing out things. What if his cdrw is not "/dev/hdc"? I guess he would just be "stuck" waiting to send another email message asking if it would be a good idea to put the device, that he knows that he has in place of the one we mentioned to him? And finally.. the last I checked this was a voluntary list for experts. I don't mean to seem upset but I am ... a little. I am mostly on this list providing support. I rarely ask for helop because not much change at my end that I don't conquer on my own or with the help of people on this list. I more then anything spend my time providing solutions, hunting down answers, and all around just supporting where ever I can and then you come and provide this type of feedback? With no correctoins or solutions whatsoever? Sometimes one should look at himself before he starts fires (Especially, when he is wearing gasoline drawers in a pool of alchohol stepping out of a kerosene shower with short matches wearing a C4 vest with a very very short (emphasis on short) wick. There I have said my peace and nuked this letter. Take this as constructive criticism and be mindful of others efforts and feelings in the future. . o O (I can't believe I took this personal!? Must be the hundreds of emails I go through everyday trying to help for free or something?)cheers and I apologize.
