I also can't figure out what wierd thing happened to my cdroms. I have a DVD player, and an HP cd burner.
That is your problem.. apparently the programs can't , at least not yet , actually produce the view that is in Konqueror ( easiest wayt to rip cds into whatever variation of new versions you wish ( ogg, mp3, wave etc ) ) IF there is more than one "cd" which is esentially what you have. And even if you don't want to use soemthing as exotic as the konqueror setup there seems to be some sort of confusion when there is more than one "cd" setup on the box. I suspect the problems you are having, W/ the Cdroms ,relate to that. Also , be sure that if you are trying to play music cds that the sound card is actually setup for the music cd player, adn the speakers are set to the sound card . (Ie they are plugged into the sound card ) I have two sound cardds and that has caught me out a couple of times. IIRC there was something about this back in the 7.3 documentation ? somehwere in all those books evryone complains about every time a new version of Suse comes out. Could be 8.0 tho. I'm pretty sure there must be something in the hardware database, or posibley Togan's Unofficial Suse Faq .. which I'm sure soemone can supply the url for... I , unfortunatly have a "memory leak" today of the proportions that make a black hole look tiny and insignificant. You didn't mention the version so I have no idea what might be happeing w/ the rest of your box... Tho it does take a long , and tending toward very long, time to get everything installed and setup at once.. It might be better if you settle on a default installation that you can live w/ ( your defualt if you like ) and get the problems w/ this or that widget settled before you attemtp to load up everything on the dvd! If there is a binery or "do it yourself tar package" of whatever is installed by red hat for your wireless stuff you problably install it on your suse box.. just an idea -- j afterthought: Life after death? Is that like terminate and stay resident?
If you don't mind, I would disagree with part of your statement. I have a DVD player and a CD-RW,and my SuSE 8.0 was able to recognize and configure both of them with no extra help from me. Linux and SuSE can easily handle more than one CDRom so Howard, don't be discoraged :-) I agree that Konquror cannot handle that yet, but there are many other applications, such as CDBakeOven, K3b, XCDRoast, etc that can recognize and work with them. Howard, as a side note, Linux considers and uses the ide-scsi driver for burners, and that is why your CD-RW was assigned to /dev/sr0. Ali.

This is true , my 8.0 and 8.1 configure them w/ no problems ... but the konqui thing still doesnt' happen. Which is okay , it just takes a few minutes llonger to set it up. Also I have an all scsi box, w/ the exception of my cdburner.. So that made thigs a little hairyer to setup on 7.3 , but fortunately one of the list gods helped me sort out /nods to CKM Extreemly knowledgable and helpful ... so long as one doesn't mind the shell <VBG> Speaking of the shell , isn't it lovely the way one can always recall previously typed lines! W/ my typing it truely is a marvel to see. And editing a mistyped line is much easier than starting over. ps: if this message smells of cinnamon , pls excuse: for soem reason it sticks to the fingers even when they are washed w/ soap and hot water. Not always a bad thing tho <G> -- j afterthought: An ulcer is what you get mountain-climbing over molehills
