Seen varied posts re the appends, but AFAIK the scsi params were included in kernels from about 2.4.2 up. I have not needed to use them for some time now; I access the cdrw and the dvd from /dev/sr0 and sr1 just by alterring fstab. Found that by accessing the cdrom from sr0 that the dao was more stable in a burn. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- To those who have been in harms way, to those that have made the sacrifice in humanities name.
