Then how come it does for me? I'm using 2.4.20-13.9 5) Search the net ... I found udf-utils from sourceforge and it compiled fine and installed, but I couldn't get it to work - the linux kernel is 0.9.5 of UDF but I doubt that's a problem The command 'pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/cdrom1' fails. Looks like I jumped the gun here - oh well. Anyone who actually knows what they are doing (unlike me) - know how to get it to work? -- -Cheers -Andrew MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding!
