Thanks for the info, after looking at the configuration file for smartd, I realized it also pointed to my cd writer and once I plugged in the new values in the config file, it worked. With this being a clean installation, it will need tweaking to get it to behave as I want. Being new to this, finding the file and editing it was fairly simple and straight forward So I celebrated my small victory with a cold pepsi he he he. there are still major issues with the installation but a journey of a thousand miles begin with the first step. Well take care and thanks for all the help, it is much appreciated MButterman __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
