Put them in /etc/init.d/boot.local, that would be the right place.
Hmmm... Apparently I've broke somethin'. ;-) /dev/hdc is actually a just-purchased HP 9900ci combo CD-RW and DVD player. Everything I posted before worked fine, but I hadn't used the burning function - just DVD. So to get the burning function to work, I set up SCSI emulation. Now it's accessed via /dev/scd0 . But when I try the hdparm command on hdc or scd0, all I get is: /dev/hdc (or /dev/scd0) not supported by hdparm. Still works on the hard drive though. Is there a workaround for this? As I'm seeing it now, my choices are: 1) Have burning functions, but not enable DMA. 2) Enable DMA, but no burning function. Would really like to have both. My Alice Cooper Brutally Live DVD is horribly choppy without that hdparm command. :-/ Later, Joe "Flame" Sullivan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firechild Web Design and CGI Scripting Services http://firechild.net Secretary, World Association of Internet Marketing http://waim.org Webmaster, Amerikanska - For Americans In Sweden http://amerikanska.com Meta-editor, Open Directory Project http://dmoz.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
