Yes it is pointing to /dev/sr0. I didn't realize there was such a thing that used SCSI controllers to talk to IDE devices.
Regardless, it doesn't seem to play well together. Any ideas anyone? Maybe i'll just have to pull it...and hook up my external HP CD-RW to this system.

No, don't pull it and go external. Just more head aches. This is not Windows. You have to give each device and/or program specific permission of anyone other than the root account won't run them (or at least not correctly unless it's "pre-configured" that way and generally devices aren't preconfigure except during installation because SuSE set it up that way. You need to give your user account permissions and have said user account associated with that group. The default permission sets for this device are probably user(aka owner) = root and group(aka users) =root. Which means if you ain't root you don't use it. change the group settings to disks and allow you user/s accounts to belong to the group "disks" with "rwx" (read, write, execute/enter) permissions. You may also need to do the same with the program you wish to use to burn with. If the users account doesn't have permissions to use it then it won't work for them. In KDE if you have "XCDRoast" installed and click on the program from the start menu it will most likely give you a message that your users accounts don't have the proper permissions setup and might ask if you would in fact like to set this up (via the program). I'm betting that this is you problem. And this also extends to any directory/sub directory a "user" (not root aka the admin) wants to access/enter/use. As in the directories /media/cdrecorder/ If you give the directory group permissions for the user but don't give the sub dir "cdrecorder" directory the same permissions then your back to --- not allow for the user account's. Keep asking question. You'll get help and figure it out. Once you figure it out then your just that much more empowered and experienced. I'm an end users and struggled at first. Now, not say I can be an admin in an IT department, but I can tweak my Linux box to burn at will, get 100+ fps in games with my Nvidia card, and even begun to set up firewalls (though the rule set still gives me headaches). Look in your SuSE manual about setting it up or try the SBD (support data base). I bet you'll find alot of answers there. Cheers, Curtis
