Okay, I found out this system didn't come with sr_mod.o.gz and interestingly there's a modprobe line for that module in rc.modules. Since this is one of those modules cd burners need unless I can find source code for it on this system and build the module this backup project is dead in the water unless it's online. I wonder if that was one of the patches released by Swansea University for the scsi system. -- Jude <dashielljt(at)gmpexpress-dot-net>
