This is the proprietry Matsushita/Panasonic interface. It's from the days of 2x drives. Who uses *those* anymore? Anyway, either start it with ``-dev /dev/'' (I think that is the correct option, it may just be ``-d /dev/.....''. Better still, add the following to ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc [General] CDDevice=/dev/cd0c ^^^^ Change this to suit. ISTR that someone said that it needs to be the raw device for IDE CD-ROMs but I'm not sure, mine's SCSI. There is a catch-22 with kscd, the kscdrc file is empty until you run kscd the first time, once you get it started you can add the above line via the options menu, but you can't start kscd until you know how to specify the correct device :-/ > > Please reply to the sending address as I am not currently on the mailing > list... > > Thanks.. > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford.
