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
