I can't even get cdrecord -scanbus to work: [root@localhost sata]# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (cpu-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 J�g Schilling Note: This version is an unofficial (modified) version with DVD support Note: and therefore may have bugs that are not present in the original. Note: Please send bug reports or support requests to http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla Note: The author of cdrecord should not be bothered with problems in this version. cdrecord: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. I'm running FC6. I did a yum update yesterday. I don't burn cds often, so I don't know that that was the update that caused the problem. I'm sure it didn't do my printing any good. -- Mike hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Horse guts never lie." -- Cherek Bear-Shoulders
