Nope, just logging out and back in should be fine. And the fact you can read them at all rules out corruption from dodgy media or a bad burn. > > What filesystem is the CD?

KDE probably has a control panel thingy that'll tell you what's mounted and where as well, but I wouldn't know where to find it.

As Lindsay already mentioned, a lot of burning packages offer UDF as a format for CDRs as well, though it's more often used on DVDs. If that's the case, you can add options to /etc/fstab to control ownership and permissions of files on that device. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
