Rick, That doesn't work. If you were to type 'kscd -h' you'd find out that -d is debug mode not an option for decice naming (assuming it didn't core dump). What you need to do is edit the kscdrc as stated in the e-mail that I forwarded to you. (I found the -d thing out the hard way.) -Chris P.S. The kscd with 1.1.2 actually doesn't core dump but gave an error opening the device. You may want to consider upgrading kde if you haven't already. > -----Original Message----- > From: Rick Knebel [SMTP:rknebel@uplink.net] > Sent: Saturday, September 25, 1999 4:16 PM > To: Christopher Michaels > Subject: Re: kscd > > On Sat, Sep 25, 1999 at 04:12:10PM -0400, Christopher Michaels wrote: > > Rick, > > Ok, my bad... > > How did you assign a device?
