A cable from the CD drives to the sound card is required to get sound from the CD drives. Also you mixer settings must have that line enabled. I have analog (3-pins) cables from the (internal) analog connector of the drive to the corresponding internal connector in the card. I use Kmix for mixing, and also tryed smixer.

Burning bootable CDs with XCDRoast
I'm attempting to burn a bootable CD with XCDRoast (.98alpha10) and it's not working. I have an iso that I need to make into a bootable CD. I follow the docs at the xcdroast.org site and set up the iso under the Write tracks section - it's selected, the layout is accepted and the iso shows up as being selected. I then go to the Master tracks section and set it up for El Torito boot by pointing it to a 1.44 floppy image and telling it to make it bootable. However, when I boot of the CD it says 2.88MB image and then failed to boot. I know I'm overlooking something obvious here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -- Brett I.

(Is this too elementary?) I usually use the command line ( as root ): cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 name_of_your.iso first determine the device using cdrecord --scanbus; mine is device 0,0,0, yours may differ. you can try a higher speed... -- Ken ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: Burning bootable CDs with XCDRoast
What you are trying to do is combine the config of creating your own ISO to an already made one. The ISO is what it is, that is why you just copy and burn one. The master is for creating your own ISO. You need ot rip an ISO and remaster it to change it. On Fri, 12 Sep 2003 22:47:31 -0400 - Brett I.

This works for me and I have successfully used xcdroast to burn the resulting iso to be used as a bootable cd 1. Create a directory in a convenient place mkdir $HOME/cd_build 2. Create a subdirectory to hold the boot image mkdir cd_build/boot 3. cd cd_build 4. Copy the floppy image you want to boot from off the floppy dd if=/dev/fd0 of=boot/boot.img bs=1k count=1440 5. Now add all the files you want burnt onto cd to the cd_build dir 6. Run the command to create the iso image (don't forget the dot at the end) mkisofs -r -b boot/boot.img -c boot/boot.catalog -o bootcd.iso . 7. Using your favourite burning software burn the bootcd.iso file to a CD http://www.jamesmcdonald.id.au/faqs/mine/bootable_cd_linux.html ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Re: Kwrite is taking over my desktop
Matthew Carpenter wrote: This sounds like you have something in your startup directory which used to look like an application link (.desktop or .kdelink or something) but now is associted with KWrite. Did you happen to change the associations for KWrite recently (or relatively recently to when this started). I did not AFAIK change any associations for KWrite, and I never found what was causing it to start up to four times when KDE loaded. The problem was occuring on both RH 7.3 and RH 9.0. What I finally did that solved the problem was to delete the directory .kde under my home directory. This worked although I did have to go back and reconfigure some of my desktop. So while I am at a loss to say what was going on, I did resolve the issue.

Mozilla Font Uglies - Any Idea what I am doing wrong?
Folks, This link is to a display error I am getting with some web pages and emails in mozilla. http://www.jamesmcdonald.id.au/gallery/Tech-Stuff/mozilla_mail_error Looking at the mozconfig options below can anyone see what options I need to turn off/on to stop this?
