Redhat just uses the SCSI version, and I use SCSI on Slackware as well most of the time (ie. when I have a burner). It's good that you have reported a bug, but you may not need to go through that path at all. As noted, supposedly fixed, although I haven't built test6 yet. -- bill davidsen CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979.
