    The syntax didn't change, but the device handling in the kernel did. 2.6 has support for IDE writers without SCSI-emulation. Newer versions of cdrecord supports this, that's why you can use dev=/dev/hdc instead of dev=0,0,0. It won't work in Redhat9.

    Small advice; when you want help, please explain the problem properly. That means including the exact command you are using and the full error message.

     

    Cdrecord in Fedora 2 works just fine, it's not broken. The manual page should tell you the correct syntax. "man cdrecord"

    Sure, the out-of-the-box Mozilla with FC1 works fine, but you can't upgrade and take advantage of security features or other new features. Not unless you want to put up with crappy fonts.

     

    Sure you can, just use a package compiled with XFT support. Mozilla

    even provides a yum'able repository:

     

    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/yum/SeaMonkey/releases/current/redhat/1

     

    If no such package was available you could also install the SRPM,

    edit the spec file and add --enable-xft or whatever.

    I should have been more clear. Reiserfs 4 is in the YOPER kernel as an option (support). However, if you look at the 2.6.8 changelog, there is a lot of discussion/fixes regarding reiserfs in general.

     

    Anyway, some more discussion about reiserfs 4 is noted on the Yoper forum here.

     

    Ok, but I'm assuming jimf43 is using the vanilla kernel and not some distributions overly patched kernel. Or? You really should give us some info on your system jimf43.

    Quick question, how exactly did reiserfs "trash" your volumes? Any error messages? Have you tried booting up with a rescue disk and mounting the partitions?

     

    Danleff, reiser4 isn't out of beta yet, and it certainly isn't included in the kernel. Look through the changelog yourself:

     

    http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.8

     

    2.6.8.1 is just a typo fix for NFS users, are you by any chance an NFS user jimf43?

    As I said, reiserfs ISN'T broken. Please try to act like you're older

    than 13 in your responses (or perhaps you are that age) if you want any kind of help. If you can prove otherwise, show me some error messages or refer to something relevant.

     

    I'm not saying your system isn't broken, I'm just saying reiserfs isn't because I use it everyday on several systems using the same kernel you are referring to.
