Hi, I had the same problem as Phillip. I was advised to add the user to
audio and disk ...
I have already undone this, after reading the post. My problem is I do not
seem to have /dev/cdrom

My brother got me a set of 2.2 release disks, and I would like to install them
on an IBM PC 750. I have tried a couple of times, but am quite new at Linux
and have not been able to get my printer to work, or get online once the
system is installed. I'm sure that it is something that I am doing

I've purchased a Traxdata 8x4x32 CD-RW, and can only install it on my

Has anyone stopped to think that maybe nvidia can't open

of certain things, that if anyone has paid attention to

I've loaded the module from the 2.2.18-pre21 kernel. It works as I have sound,

Dear community,
I've noticed that there are some programs in testing that I'd

very scared of it not working correctly or breaking badly

gphoto vs. photopc (phototk), which is best?
Gphoto supports over 100 cameras and is being actively developed. The gphoto
development team is actually revising the code to make it VERY modular (a
library). This change will make it independent of the interface (ex: GNOME, KDE,
tk, curses, etc).

Ahhh, the painful process of learning.

Of course, mp3 is a lossy format. So, every time you re-compress the mp3 it will
