Having problems with Limewire and CD/DVD-ROM

What does

# cdrecord -scanbus

return when run with root privileges?

That output looks promising. cdrecord seems to be working with the ATAPI/CAM driver, so I'm guessing it's just an issue with K3b (K3b is simply a graphical front-end to cdrecord). I unfortunately don't have a whole lot of experience with K3b -- I usually just use cdrecord or XCDRoast to create CDs. But I'll guarantee you that burning a CD will work if you have the output you posted above.

Alright, thank you very much for your help. I'll try another program.. I had used k3b in Ubuntu, so I decided to try to stick with it, but I guess that may not be the case.. Thanks again

Yes, Java is painful to get up and running in *BSD. Azureus, Limewire, or anything with Java requires you to patch in a file from Sun's website and it's a real pain. I just have Arch on my computer for a light little Linux distro that runs Sun just fine, I don't even try to install Java on *BSD because I don't want to go through the hassle.

Alright, I even tried XCDRoast and it can't find the drivers either... I've recompiled the kernel with the atapicam driver in there. Stuck again..

Can anyone suggest perhaps another program that might find them? Perhaps NeroLinux?

It's not a hassle, it's just ULTRA time consuming.

Yeah, I did that already, still gives me hell about not finding LimeWireOther.zip in /usr/ports/distfiles, although it's in there.. Grr...
