Re: Careful Dave: Re: cdrecord error
Greg,
Thank you for the advice, but I think the version of Debian that I had
didn't have the 2.6 kernel.
To Everyone else out there on the debian-user list:
THIS LIST ROCKS!!!!!! I've only been on this list about a week, and I can
see so much great information being passed. This is the best email list I
have ever signed up for.
Thank you to everyone on this list.
Pete
