Now when I put a cd into the drive, here's the result: Jan 29 13:16:08 main syslog-ng[2622]: STATS: dropped 0 Jan 29 14:16:09 main syslog-ng[2622]: STATS: dropped 0 Jan 29 14:58:46 main su: (to root) fred on /dev/pts/3 Jan 29 15:03:33 main hald: mounted /dev/hdc on behalf of uid 1000 So why is the dvd treated differently? It works when booted to either Suse 9.1 or XP or FC-6. (Yeah, I know they don't use hald) Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
