Hello, I just purchased a DVD+-RW drive that I put into a usb 2.0 enclosure. The manufacture is: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: MAD DOG Model: MD-16XDVD9 Rev: 2.F6 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 It looks like to burn anything (dvd/cd) with this external device, I have to stop haldaemon. If I do not, then I have coasters. My question is, is there any way to have hal ignore this device when a blank cd/dvd is inserted? I, ofcourse, would want hal to mount any valid disk that is inserted. Thanks. Oh yeah, I am running rawhide yumed on top of FC3. -- Brian Millett Enterprise Consulting Group "Shifts in paradigms (314) 205-9030 often cause nose bleeds." bpmATec-groupDOTcom Greg Glenn
