Hello James , Yup that works alright . But the difficulty
Per & I were talking about is after the system (such as
slackware's live-fs) is -shutdown- the CD drive bay is still
locked , One has to hard-reset (or even power off for some)
before the bay will open . I am well aware why the bay does
not open while the live-fs has it mounted . But am quite
baffled as to why the darn thing remains locked after system
shutdown . Again I am quite sure I know why that is happening
as well . The live-fs is hard read-only and the umount of the
live-fs can not complete , so the CD drive never receives an
unlock . Sound about right ? Twyl , JimL
