Where does the name "cdrda0" come from? Hi Bill. Could you try not to put your replies at the top of the previous post, as it makes it difficult to follow the thread. Where did you get the idea that the package was called "cdrda0" ?? As I said when I suggested that you didn't have the package installed, it's named "cdrdao", as Tony has just restated. Regarding if you also had installed KDE, that "cdrdao" would have been installed, the answer is no. The example I gave was looking to install K3b on FC4 with KDE installed. "cdrdao" was shown as a dependency, and IIRC on my Debian Sarge install, installing K3b was showing both cdrecord, and cdrdao, as dependencies. You are always going to find dependency problems. It's a case of either looking at the list of available packages on Synaptic, or Yumex, to see if there is a package there that resembles the one that your attempted install is complaining about. It gets worse when compiling packages from source, (tar.gz/tar.bz2), which need header files, and are in the development packages, which you probably havn't got installed. I'm not trying to put you off, but there are always likely to be dependency problems with some or other package. It's just a case of learning to deal with them. Nigel.
