(i put a wav file, an mp3, txt, etc just to see how linux would read the various files. it appears that i have come to the end of my wire and really would appreciate some help. the how to indicates that my device is a scsi, and my ls 120 shows up as the first scsi device, making the next device sdb, right ??? tia - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
