Your burner needs to be scsi-emulated, whereas your dvd doesn't, so everything looks OK there. What method are you using to try to burn? If you start XCDroast and get up the config screen, does it recognise your burner? Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Oren Tsur Well Oren, You don't give much information about your setup. It would help to know whether your writer is in the 1st or second ide line, whether configured master or slave, and make and model, or what programme you are trying to use it under. First , type in a terminal, cdrecord -scanbus and report the result. this will list where the writer is listed on the bus. your writer has tobe listed in /etc/fstab to be mounted correctly, it would be a good idea to report what you have there. You also need to report the append line in /etc/lilo.conf John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] mounting my cd-writer
You need to give group access permission to the cdwriter group to the following applications (all located in /usr/bin) cdrdao (not all burners use this) cdrecord mkhybrid (not all burners use this) mkisofs To give group ownership open a root konqueror window (KMenuApplicationsFileToolsFile Manager(Superuser) right click on the file you want to change and select Properties.

Re: [newbie] mounting my cd-writer
I should have also said give the cdwriter group write permission to /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrom0 /dev/scd0 (These devices may not all exist) derek On Monday 17 Mar 2003 5:06 pm, Derek Jennings wrote: You need to give group access permission to the cdwriter group to the following applications (all located in /usr/bin) cdrdao (not all burners use this) cdrecord mkhybrid (not all burners use this) mkisofs To give group ownership open a root konqueror window (KMenuApplicationsFileToolsFile Manager(Superuser) right click on the file you want to change and select Properties.
