CD-writer: Rico 7040a supported?
It seems as if this Rico is a newer model than the supported Ricoh MP-6201. It is not on cdrecord's list of supported drives. Does anyone have experience of using this drive with cdrecord?

How do I apply a kernel patch?
According to the Kernel-HOWTO I should do the following: So, continuing with the example above, let's suppose that you have `patch46.gz' in /usr/src. cd to /usr/src and do a `zcat patch46.gz | patch -p0' (or `patch -p0 < patch46' if the patch isn't compressed). You'll see things whizz by (or flutter by, if your system is that slow) telling you that it is trying to apply hunks, and whether it succeeds or not.

RE: XCDRoast and HP7200
Hallo Bryan, Thanks for your reply. I think I found the problem today: the hp7200i-writer is faulty. I took it to my friend who has one on his Windows 98 system. He connected it and could not successfully write to the CD-RW-disc (the one that came with the writer and the same one he formatted successfully the day before). He then tried another new CD-RW disc also without success. I am sad about this because I could get this HP7200 for a very reasonable price - about 40% cheaper than the normal price. Now, obviously, I am not going to buy that drive and I do not now have the money to buy one at the normal price. Maybe later. I really appreciate the help of people like you. That makes linux a pleasure. I am keeping your messages and when I try out another cdwriter - hopefully within the next few months, I will refer back to it.

apt-get: did not finish the job?
Last night I installed libc6_2.1.1-7 and potato's xcdroast using apt-get on my hamm system. During the process the ncurses package was also upgraded. Today when I ran "make menuconfig" in my kernel-source tree I get the following error message: There seems to be a problem with the lxdialog companion utility which is built prior to running Menuconfig. Usually this is an indicator that you have upgraded/downgraded your ncurses libraries and did not remove the old ncurses header file(s) in /usr/include or /usr/include/ncurses. It is VERY important that you have only one set of ncurses header files and that those files are properly version matched to the ncurses libraries installed on your machine. You may also need to rebuild lxdialog. This can be done by moving to the /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog directory and issuing the "make clean all" command. If you have verified that your ncurses install is correct, you may email the author <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or post a message on the linux.dev.kernel news group for additional assistance. make: *** [menuconfig] Error 139 I found a ncurses.h file in my /usr/include directory and renamed it but the same error message occured again. I then did the "make clean all" in /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog and it did not help. I thought that debian's packaging system was supposed to take care of something like this.

xcdroast and HP7200i
I have installed xcdroast 0.96e to try out my HP7200i. According to the supported cdwriters the HP7200 (which is not a SCSI-drive) is supported, but I cannot select it during the setup. The documentation says about the hardware requirements: * SCSI-Controller running with Linux. (Not necessary with ATAPI-Writers) But when I come to the point where the HP7200 must be selected as cdwriter I cannot do it. Here the documentation says: * CD-Setup: CD-Writer Device: This is your CD-Writer. You can here only choose from your SCSI-Devices type 4 and 5 (Worm and CD-Rom). Some CD-Writer identify themselves as CD-Roms, but please don't set a real CD-Rom as write-device. How am I then supposed to select the HP7200 as CD-Writer? I do not have any SCSI-devices. I hope somebody can help me.

Installing libc6_2.1.1-7 on hamm
I have a mixed system with a hamm base and slink and potato packages. I want to try out a cd writer (HP 7200i) and to do that want to install a new version of cdrecord as hamm's version does not support the drive. cdrecord depends on libc6 > 2.1. When I try to install libc6 the following happens. apt-get -f install libc6 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.0.7t-1) but 2.1.1-7 is installed libc6: Conflicts: timezones but 2.0.7t-1 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. As far as I can see libc6-2.1.1-7 replaces libc6-dev. Why does apt not remove the old libc6-dev and install the package? I am only beginning to use apt and I am not sure whether I must go backp to dpkg -i to install what I want to install. Would that be dangerous in this situation?

Re: lpq:cannot open connection to `lp@localhost' - Connection refused
I recently had a similar problem although I have only one printer. For a reason I could not determine, the lp-module of the kernel got lost and I had to put it back by modconf (could also have used insmod).

HP 7200i
I can get a HP7200i CD-R-drive (still new) at a very reasonable price. I have checked the Hardware-Howto, but did not get much information on CD-RW-drives.
