Hi all, seeing as I started this thread, I'll add my two penneth.
What a lot of people forget when writing the FM is to make it understood 
by someone who does not have the knowledge of the author

We can all write very good papers on what we understand for those who 
also understand.
How many have printed off half a ream of paper to get a hard copy, only 
to throw it in the bin with comments like "who wrote this shit"  ?.

I will be on a residential course from the end of this moth for 40 
weeks, I'd like to get that TV card working in a linux/wine 
envoironment, then at least I can use a proper OS.
The back up is to run it in windows AGHHHHH.

So far I cant get wine to see the cdrom, its configured as /dev/cdrom
which it is.

But with Mandrake using magicdev for mounting, its not as simple.

I've tried manually mounting and unmounting, and pulling hair out.

This is the type of problem that someone trying wine for the first time 
to give up on it.
I dont give up ! but could do with some help
