Works perfect here on CD-RW. # camcontrol devlist at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0) at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,cd0) > * gstreamer[-plugins]: Make sure your favorite plug-in works.

I have created ~/cdrom (mezz user) then add in the fstab following: =============================== /dev/acd0 /usr/home/mezz/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 =============================== But, it always work if I mount it by command line and a CD icon will appear in the desktop, no matter what user I mounted as. Boy, I always want 'user or users' feature to be add in fstab on FreeBSD like Linux has. > * gnome-network: This is a new suite in GNOME 2.5.

The SSH (gnome-remote-shell) works perfect here. The netinfo's 'Devices' tab doesn't work, which everything display as 'not available'. The Traceroute doesn't work very well, which it will lag itself and I don't think it output the info correct. All other tabs like Ping, Netstat and etc work perfect. I will play with the other stuff more later to see if there has any bug or whatever. Cheers, Mezz -- bsdforums.org 's moderator, mezz.
