I'm afraid burning CDs isn't that easy. You have to mount it read-only to read files, and use CD burning software (my personal favourite is still xroast) to write to it. If you mount it with a command like # mount -t iso0996 -o ro /dev/scd0 /mnt/usbcd then you won't get the error. The -o switch passes options to mount, ro specifies read-only. Check the man page for mount for other options you can use. > So, I unmounted the usbcd, put in an audio CD and typed the > same command. Audio CDs don't work like that either - they can't be mounted at all. To play them, just configure your CD player to use /dev/scd0. Use a program like cdparanoia to rip tracks and convert them to .wav files. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
