Huh, I don't know if Jarod was trying for some kind of work-around or
not. I have been playing with this for a few minutes and am now
to the point where Matt is; the monitoring doesn't seem to work and the
menu doesn't appear.<br>
<br>
I'm out of time, though. I'll play around with this some more tomorrow.</div></div></blockquote><div><br>
Just a quick follow-up, this seems to be working for me:<br>
<br>
/dev/hdb
/media/cdrecorder
iso9660,udf
pamconsole,rw,exec,noauto,user 0 0<br>
<br>
The DVD menu now appears as it should, even after a reboot.<br>
<br>
Note that as I was messing around today I switched dvd drives
from DVD-ROM to a DVD-ROM/CD-RW. Not sure if that had any
effect or not...<br>
