[actually, i have now received a reply... he said he never solved the problem, he just bought a new drive. my drive works fine in other machines, and i can mount CD-ROM's with it, so i don't think it is broken] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2003-October/004262.html _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
