Hey all, (Quick note to SuSE staff: Thanks for the cdbakeoven RPM with the KDE3 RPMs! I'd never seen that program before and it's now my favorite for burning.) I have a USB-connected Acer external CD burner. When I originally installed 7.3, I had it plugged in and on, and it apparently was set up during installation. And I had no problem burning on it logged in as a regular user. Even got a desktop icon for it. I reinstalled recently due to a KDE3/X upgrade nightmare. However, the burner was connected to my laptop at the time so it wasn't noted during the 7.3 reinstall. So now I'm only able to burn as root? Can't even mount it. I tried adding a line to fstab: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrw auto rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0 With "rw" thinking that would allow burning for users. Nope, I'm completely wrong. What else do I need to change to allow users to burn? (Technically just one user, since I'm the only user of this computer.) Thanks, Joe

Have you tried adding the user to "disk" group and trying afterwards -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

First of all, you don't mount the device to burn to it, just when you're reading from it. Secondly, you burn through the generic scsi devices (/dev/sg*, probably sg0 in your case). Check the permissions on the /dev files relevant to the device. Anders
