However I haven't received any messages about permissions. On a hunch I started X as root and k3b was then able to find my hardware. This doesn't really solve the problem but it was a quick work-around for me until I figure this out. Note: I too changed permissions to 666 on /dev/acd0 and /dev/cd0 to no avail. Maybe someone with more experience could jump in here? hth, --Duane
