Dear community,
This is the story so far - Installed MDK 9, problems with rights to CDRW
   

and
 

DVD, re-installed, set-up rights and everything worked fine, wanted to work
with x-cd-roast, x-cd-roast couldn't detect my DVD, changed lilo.conf to
include append="quiet devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi", in terminal
typed lilo to load changes,
changes loaded successfully, in x-cd-roast
everything is fine, in kde my cdrom2 (which used to be my CDRW) is now my
DVD and my CDRW? I am not sure where it has gone..... when I go to the
configuration as root I can see that my dvd is mounted as scd1 on
   

/mnt/cdrom
 

and my CDRW is mounted as scd0 on /mnt/cdrom2.

   

Oh, that happens, don't know why, I change the /mnt/cdrom and 
/mnt/cdrom2 around in /etc/fstab entries and then they come out the 
proper way round, ie, cdrom= DVD,  cdrom2=writer.

John

try,
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0in 
/etc/fstab

I cannot remember if you have both devices scsi-emulated but this way 
round makes dvd = scd0 = cdrom,  writer = scd1 = cdrom2, always provided 
that you have dvd/writer master and slave in that order, because the 
master slave determins scd0 or scd1 , and your fstab entry determins 
which is cdrom, and cdrom2.
