Hi, I thought of that... not here, though - scd0 is not a device (it is on my RH9 box, though - I think something changed with ide/scsi in 2.6): $ dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/snd/mbarb/try.dvd dd: opening `/dev/scd0': No such device or address $ cat /dev/scd0 > try.iso cat: /dev/scd0: No such device or address etc. Thanks, Matt ->I don't know about FC 2 but on FC 1 I use /dev/dvd. It is linked on my system to /dev/scd0. My fstab entry looks like this: /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0<-
