Of course take the rpm which matches your processor. after "cat cdrdao-1.1.8-pre2.xcyb.2.rh9.athlon.rpm | rpm2cpio | pax -r" you'll find a directory "usr/bin" in the directory you called the command. In this directory you'll find the cdrdao-executable "cdrdao". Now rename "/usr/bin/cdrdao" to anything like "/usr/bin/cdrdao.debian" and copy the extracted "cdrdao" to "/usr/bin". Change the access-rights to the same like "cdrdao.debian" and you're done. After starting k3b it should now accept any atapi cd/dvd-rom as reader.
This should work on every linux-distribution. Hope this helps. Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
