Does anyone know a good surefire way to reinstall since it doesn't look like my cdrom permission problem will clear up.
Thanks 
Mike

 Surely you should let ever user have access to thnis stuff. Log on as root 
 and enter chmod -a+x /mnt/cdrom or whatever the device is. Hey presto, 
 everyone can have a go. 
 
*grin* 
I _am_ "every user" on my machine... 
 
But you are correct, everyone should be able to access the cdrom.

Create a group "cdwriter" in linuxconf, add yourself to that group, and
then change the group permission on /dev/scd0 (or scd1, whatever the
writer really is) to the group 'cdwriter' (chgrp cdwriter /dev/scd?)

As my machine now shows:

[paul@internet paul]$ ls -l /dev/scd0
brw-rw1 root cdwriter  11,   0 Sep 27 12:31 /dev/scd0
