I assume that I can use the CD-RW and not just the CD-R part. Um.. # cd /dev # ln -s scd0 cdrw ...and then edit /etc/fstab to point to /dev/cdrw.. You can write to a CD-RW just like a CD-R when you use cdrecord, though you may need to erase the disc first. I haven't worked with UFS support at all (which would allow you to read/write CD-RWs just like a regular drive), since it's marked Experimental/Dangerous in the 2.4 kernel configuration screens. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Linux: The choice of a / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ GNU Generation \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ]
