You probably need to enable DMA for your DVD drive. As root, edit /etc/modules.conf and add this line at the bottom: options ide-cd dma=1 Then, run this command: /sbin/hdparm -d 1 /dev/dvd (where /dev/dvd is your DVD drive. It might be /dev/cdrom, or even /dev/hdc. Find out first before running this.) Also, be aware that DMA is potentially dangerous for some DVD (and CD) drives, which is why RedHat disabled it "out of the box". Read the docs for your drive first to be safe. > I also forgot the apt-get syntax which I would be grateful if you would > remind me of how to install packages and what the name of the package > should be. see http://uug.byu.edu/apt Good luck. --Dave _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
