Does anyone have info on the status of dvdrw support for ML? I see only
one unit on the hardware compatibility list and I'm sure there are
dozens if not hundreds of units being produced now. I have a Philips
dvdrw228 and can 'see' cd's and dvd's with the unit but as far as doing
anything work or
test to find out why SPAM_Watch is prefixed to my last post.

Ok, I'm going a little crazy right now. My Linux box hasn't been turned
on for 10 days or so which caused 'locate' to give me an error message
about the database. I used the command 'updatedb' and then looked for
perl5.8.0 once more to insure that I got the directory right.
#locate perl5.
here is what I found
#ls -la /usr/bin/perl
#lrwxrwxrwx1 root root5 Nov 3 07:23
/usr/bin/perl - perl5
#ls -la /usr/bin/perl5
#lrwxrwxrwx1 root root9 Nov 3 07:22
/usr/bin/perl5 - perl5.6.1
#locate perl5.6.1
#(nothing)
#locate perl5.
#/usr/bin/sperl5.8.0
/sperl5.8.0
#/usr/bin/perl5.8.0
does this mean that the symlink is looking for 5.6.1 and I only
have 5.8.0?
is it easy to change or replace the symlink?

came across a howto at

I ordered the disks from cheapbytes and they work fine on my iMac. As I
recall, you need a mac boot partition to begin with (I made mine as small as
possible) and then you start the install program from your MacOS (8.2 in my
case).

I've seen a number of posts to this list that indicate the cd is simply a
