I checked MARC for suse-linux-e and suse-kde and found similar complaints for SUSE 9.1 but wanted to verify here before I mess with root: Using SUSE 10, KDE 3.5, k3b 0.128, when I startup k3b I get the message: cdrdao will be run without root privileges It is highly recommended to configure cdrdao to run with root privileges to increase the overall stability of the burning process. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem. I do not find k3bsetup at: 1. the Settings menu of k3b 2. the KDE > System > More programs menu 3. the terminal 4. /opt/kde3/bin/ 5. the SUSE FTP repositories (where I looked) I see several solutions for SUSE 9.x in the old archives but am hesitant to use them on SUSE 10, especially since I have to do this as root. Please advise on what to do. Thank you. -- Penguin #395953 resides at http://samvit.org subsisting on SUSE Linux 10.0 with KDE 3.5
