Hi. Just installed FC3 after 5 days of DLing iso's on dialup. A problem I havn't come up with before is Playing Audio CD's with KsCD. Alsa works fine. Better than FC1 and FC2. Apart from setting up Alsamixer it works out of the box. I changed the path of KsCD from /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc which is the correct path for the cdrom drive. /dev/hdc has user as root and group as disc. I changed this with, chown user_name /dev/hdc , then I could play audio cd's. The problem is. When I reboot the machine the ownership is changed back to root in /dev/hdc. I have had to change ownership in other distro's before for the cdrom drive with no problems. The only strange entry I can find is in /etc/fstab. Where the entries for the cdrom drive and floppy drive are very different to other distro's. See below.
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u
bject_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u
bject_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
Data cdroms are ok. I simply open kdiskfree, mount the drive, open a file manager, and everything is there. So there doesn't seem to be a problem with the cdrom drive, and anyway it works ok with all the other distro's I run on this machine.
Theres appears to be something stopping the changes of ownership to /dev/hdc that I have made, from being permanantly saved. HELP! Nigel. aka farpoint.

Cant tell you KDE version. I'm getting 700MB+ of updates at the moment and rpm _q don't want to know while it's doing something else. Probably 3.3
