Hi Terry
I have a 'new' DVD drive from my Laptop; when I got it from Novatech I

un-used drive. It's yours if any good for you. No mounting tray.

Thanks for info. (Use Mint 14 at moment but see below)
Tried looking at /etc/passwd and found entry for me and it's the same as
your example except 'ralph' entries are 'clive'. That looked OK so
looked down all lines and found the following which may be 'wrong'.
'Bug' has been reported, so awaiting any outcome. Will post responses
