Warning this is probably annoyingly simple. I've still setting my RH 6.2 up and noticed that I can't access the CD-ROM unless I go through the KDE desktop. Why? I'm sure it has to do with mounting the drive, shouldn't that be done during boot-up ? What am I missing. BTW Thanks to all those that helped with the video stuff. Turns out the damn monitor can't handle the resolution I wanted, oh well back to the store. Stuart Foster MediServe Information Systems > http://www.mediserve.com >
