ok, you just have to be smarter than the program. Here's what I did to get this program working with the cdrw group
cd /usr/portage/app-cdr/xcdroast ebuild xcdroast-0.98_alpha13.ebuild unpack cd /var/tmp/portage/xcdroast-0.98_alpha13/work/xcdroast-0.98alpha13/src edit xcdroast.h on line 119 change xcdwrite to whatever group you want. Save it ebuild /usr/portage/app-cdr/xcdroast/xcdroast-0.98_alpha13.ebuild compile ebuild /usr/portage/app-cdr/xcdroast/xcdroast-0.98_alpha13.ebuild merge As root, start it, and activate it, it will now activate it with the group you specified. woohoo !!! /Line72 On Tuesday 28 January 2003 4:44 pm, Maximus wrote: > On Tue, 28 Jan 2003 20:42:09 +0000 > > Mark Hazell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Tue, 28 Jan 2003 10:11:35 -0600 Mark typed: > > > Has anybody been able to use xcdroast as a regular user without > > > doing that stupid activate non-root mode.
