No , It's just that you do not have your writer as a device, mounted, the /mnt/cdrom section is there for that . The rest adds various controls to the device, like fonts and access, but I cannot remember what the 0 0 on the end does.I should know but cannot recall.----- Original Message ----- From: John Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 13:58:50 +0000 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] CDRW install, need help w/fstab

Thanks guys, I was having a LOT of trouble getting things to go right until I added the "hdc=ide-scsi" to my lilo.conf append line.This inclusion makes your ide device into a "fake scsi-emulated" device
Here's my fstab:This script is correct Angus.
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,nosuid,ro,umask=0,user,nodev 0 0 Is this "correct"? --Angus
What you now have is automount(as against supermount) and if you right mouse click on your desktop - create new CD-rom device, you can add a desktop icon to give you easy gui access to the device.
I think your k3b entry is more like this ,
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
If you want supermount, then change the fstab entry to,
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
you have to go to Control center to add a desktop icon.

***************************************
My K3b system device entry looks like this:
"/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/cd (0, 0, 0)
I only have one cd device, which is my burner, so would that account for the difference?
I guess that k3b does not actually have to access the device through the external system mount command, but can aecess it as a device using it's own built in mount command, I don't really know though. Pure guess. The k3b programme setup wizard added mine like it is , so I'm guessing quite a bit. I tend to use xcdroast for most gui writing, and cdrecord on the command line, but recently I added k3b , and found to my joy if can packet write, something I have never been able to do before. So that's a one up for k3b. I find that very usefull when wanting to add bits and pieces of software programmes to a CD for safe keeping, it doesn't insist on fixing the entire disc, thus leaving space for aditions.
