Hi Dan, it was late last night when was messing with this stuff, and the sweat from my brow was burning my eyes. Thanks for your help, I realize I should have given more info on my situation. My MP3 drive is IDE--only about 5GB, and all legal copies of purchased CDs of course. Anyway my CD drives are SCSI.

I tried kb3 again this morning. I clicked the settings menu and selected the configure option. There were no entries for the reader and writer.

I clicked add devices, and entered /dev/scd0

kb3 returned this error

'could not find an additional device at /dev/scd0'

I then tried these

/dev/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom
/mnt/auto/cdrom

I got the same errors as above.

the fstab line for my burner is

fstab /dev/scd0 /mnt/auto/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
