Try typing "dmesg|grep CD" into the command line. Here's what I get on RH9:
hdc: PHILIPS CDRW3210S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1612, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Last time I checked, tho, the dvd reading was misconfigured, but I don't think that is evident from the above 2 lines = ) If you can copy the list on the output from your dmesg|grep... that would be a handy starting place. You can grep hd instead of CD to see hard drives, roughly speaking. regards, Ben PS - burners usually get mapped to the sd* devices (a,b,c,...) On Sun, 25 Jan 2004 21:08:58 -0800 "John C.
