That is no longer necessary at all. Try the following two commands and let us know what output you get from them. cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus I find that both commands work on my system, but "ATA" returns results immediately, whilst "ATAPI" sits for a few seconds before outputting. You can ignore the dire warnings about running under kernel 2.5 (unless you're running a 2.5 kernel for some obscure reason). That was a beta-test series, and problems are to be expected. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
