Thanks for replying Kenny. I did not run Kudzu, but I have the same /etc/fstab entries as you. /dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder1 auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 I use gnome and when I check my Hardware Browser, the Benq is listed there as well. -- G.
