I haven't done anything yet! I just need my CD device to start working again. I really don't understand how SCSI ties to CD's, but it seems like there must be some relation in the software, per what you say. But again, all I really want to do is get my CD device working again.

Greg, Appreciate your bottom posting, but is there a small change you might trim a portion of the lengthy quotes.

Sorry about that. Anyway, I finally gave up on 8.2 and did an end run to 9.0. Just finished getting the install cleaned up and downloaded and installed all of the patches. Everything I normally use is working fine (Samba, Apache, Oracle). Tomorrow, I'm going to try going to 9.1. I've installed it successfully before from 8.1, so going 9.0 to 9.1 should be a piece of cake. I know I'll have a bit of a battle over Apache though. My Oracle system is under Apache 1 and I haven't been able to get it to work with Apache 2, so I'll have to force some things through on that. Everything should work in the end though. At least it did before. I'm heading for 9.3 ultimately. I'm a little worried about 9.1->9.2 because I've read lots of horror stories about that being a tough jump. I guess I'll find out here in a day or two. Greg Wallace
