If that's the case, adding -verbose should show that wodim's attempting to open a device. $ alias wodim='wodim dev=/dev/sdz' $ wodim --devices -verbose TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '/dev/sdz' devname: '/dev/sdz' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 wodim: No such file or directory. ... Nigel, could you try with -verbose? I think wodim should suggest using -verbose for more information in the error message. Maybe something like "Adding the -verbose flag may provide more information about this error" could be added to the currrent text. Arguably, wodim should ignore the dev=... option when used with -devices or -scanbus . -- Neil Muller -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
