Hi Brain, is there an x app out there that can be used to rip a data cd. If you define 'ripping a data cd' as 'creating an ISO image', you can use ports/sysutils/xcdroast, which is also a nice X11 frontend to cdrecord. Simon pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

- gaim version /usr/ports/net/gaim/distinfo says: gaim-0.75.tar.bz2 The output of something like pkg_info | grep gaim is usually more helpful, since it also shows the version of the FreeBSD port you are using. - output of ldd -a /usr/X11R6/bin/gaim Hmm, nothing suspicious, IMO.
