I am not sure about the way the frontends use it but with cdrecord -R preserves the access rights, -r sets them to a+r. AFAIK. -- HTH Roman Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] GCombust permissions problem
Dear Sridhar and Dennis, Thank you for your thoughts and help. I think I know what I am doing wrong. I have not fixed it yet but your info has made me realize what to do. Yes, I think the Rock Ridge extensions were enabled so I will disable those and try again. Thanks alot for you help.

In the fourth field (fields are tab or space delimited), you should see a set of options. Add ",user" to the end. This will allow a user to mount /mnt/cdrom. Reboot, and hopefully everything should be fine. If that doesn't work, open userdrake and add yourself to the "cdrom" group. Was the CD-ROM burnt using Rock Ridge extensions enabled? If so, then file permissions were recorded to the disc. This means that the files on the disc behave as if they're on your hard drive, in that you need the correct user permissions to access them. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place." -- Douglas Adams Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
