thank you both very much. I was of course confused and you set me straight. I have still been fighting udev, and need to reread that reference which i read so long ago. However, it is true that I am having trouble and got some error messages from ogle (on a different machine so i cant just copy them in) that made me think that there was a "permissions" problem with /dev/dvd. Obviously there is not so I will have to dig deeper to see what the problem was. Thank you all for your help. Mitchell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
