I wrote the very original SxS on CD burners if you remember and having the statement hdb=ide-scsi was at that time the only way to get the burner seen by the OS. However I remarked early in the piece after the initial install of "Sybil" that the staement wa sno longer needed and this was confirmed by Marcus. I have been meaning to change the SxS, although its not mine now. But at this present moment in time I cannot get the dvd or cdrom to be seen by the OS no matter what i do so it looks as if I have real problems with the present install, with so many things going wrong. Know its not possible but that Sir virus I got, things seemed to have gone wonky since then. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- To make yourself look truthful one has to lie, as most people do not want to kmow the truth; but only that which they believe. ------------------------------------------------------------- Keith Antoine aka "skippy" 18 Arkana St The Gap Queensland 4061 Australia PH 16 7 33002161 Retired Geriatric and Sometime Electronics Engineer _______________________________________________ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
