Ah... I'm running (or it's running ME) FC6
Well, the darn thing sure went through a pile of defecating with
dependencies saying it couldn't be installed as opposed to some NO-OP
message that it didn't exist at all. <bangs head on keyboard>  ... and
K3b keeps telling me I need K3bSetup, which I ain't got. I dug further
into it... (kill me now) and I have two devices, a writer device which
seems to be "correct" as it will only accept /dev/hda and not /dev/sda.
I can put the Dvd in the drive, it's mounted automagically, K3b finds it
and the files that I want to copy. I also note that the other device,
which has no configuration, is "Read-Only device". I tried configuring
it, no go. So, I assume (shudders) that the Writer Drive is sufficent???
I created a directory /opt/k3b and chowned it root:user and chmod 777 so
the damn thing had PLENTY of permissions. So, I click on the file to
copy and get  "K3b could not mount <>. Please run K3bSetup."

df reports: /dev/hda               8188654   8188654         0
100% /media/FIGHTING_TEMPTATIONS_169
... so it's mounted. Wassup? Ric
