I found a doc at redhat.com/support/alex/229.html that seemed to explain the process of getting it to work. I entered the statement "ln -s /dev/ht0/dev/tape" I know have a red blinking label that says Tape at my root. I can see I am supposed to add the ide-tape.o module, but am not sure how to get this done, or if it will work. Any detailed help would be appreciated. > That doesn't surprise me a bit. You should have typed: ln -s /dev/ht0 /dev/tape Note the space between entries. Nor _CAREFULLY_ do a ls -l /Tape and if does not point to anything remove it. florin -- "you have moved your mouse, please reboot to make this change take effect" 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4
