You probably need to add yourself to the 'cdrom' group (note: Group member ship is only picked up on login, so you will probably have to log out and in again). Also double-check the file that /dev/cdrom is pointing to ; it should be owned by the cdrom group. Mine looks like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Oct 4 08:17 /dev/cdrom -> hdc brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 May 5 2000 /dev/hdc fstab isn't relevant, as audio cd's don't get mounted - there is no filesystem to speak of on them. > Another thing..

Most people on will have dynamic IP addresses. If you want to let other people access your machine over the internet, then you may want to look into dynamic dns servers - <advert>www.no-ip.com</advert>. There's bound to be loads of others offering the same sort of service. Needless to say, you probably want to set up some firewalling first anyway. > Con MSN Hotmail súmese al servicio de correo electrónico más grande del > mundo. http://www.hotmail.com/ES Booh, hiss!
