Oliver -- Since you've posted this same question three times now, and received no responses (at least none copied to the list), it is reasonable to assume that no one here can answer your question in the form you pose it. Perhaps if you provided a bit more of a description of the hardware involved, though, someone might have an idea. The kind of information I have in mind is: 1. Make and model of the actual device. Perhaps even a URL for its manufacturer. 2. You call it a "changer" and refer to "slots", but that doesn't give me a feel for the actual mechanics of the device. Is it actually a device with one CD drive in it, and a built-in mechanism for holding 6 different disks and loading any of them on demand? (For example, does it physically resemble the music CD changers I am, and no doubt most everyone is, acquainted with?) If not, what is the actual mechanism? 3. I expect that this device, like most PC hardware, comes with software that causes it to work under at least some versions of Windows. If this is correct, then how do the disks get changed under Windows? I did do a quick Google search and found several (fairly old) references tro kernel patches that supported *specific* IDE-based CD changers. At least one of them referred to a program that would mount each CD as a separate mount point. From what I read, I surmise that the solution to your problem ... if one exists ... does depends on the particular CD changer you have. But doing a Google search on the specific brand name plus "Linux" might serve you better than we can. -- -----------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
