No, this is saying the burner is on SCSI device 0,0,0 (emulated SCSI, in your case) -- to mount it you need to mount /dev/scd0 to a directory. >I have no trouble with vi.

Yes. >Incidentally, I don't mind rebooting, but will hotplug, if >constantly monitoring, accommodate a warm mount of the burner? Again, I don't know anything about hotplug, but by the look of it you are getting your device bounded to Virtual-SCSI. >On thinking about this, it seems to me that, having vi'd in the >command you suggested, I should be able to get a listing of the >files by typing >"ls /mnt/usbcd" right? You will have to mount it using mount /mnt/usbcd If you try to use anything like 'supermount' (which is used in Mandrake) then you may have trouble if you do not have the device plugged in. - Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
