Hi everybody and hope this message finds everybody well and in good spirits. I have a question in the CD department, I have a DVD-ROM drive that is not being seen by my burning program gnometoaster. I also had discovered that the drive in question as "hdb". I submitted this question before with no response but I believe it is due to the fact I didn't give it a subject. I am concerned that since I sent this message entitled "re:hand holding" my reqests for help have remained unanswered. Understand that this message is only my opinion and in no way invalidates what other people believe. If I have offended anyone in this process I do appologize for doing so. I am considering using K3B as my new burning program, I read these list carefully and find alot info about it. I don't think the problem with the drive will not be solved with a package change, I suspect a configuration change is needed. could anybody either explain the process of correcting this or refer me to someone who could help me. As always, I thank all of you for the list and your help. Without this list and it's members, it would be so much harder to make the switch to linux from windows. Please be aware that I don't use list like this at all so I'm new to it and therefore I will make mistakes from time to time as I learn the ropes. ===== Merrill A.
