Sorry, whilst I am at it, there is one more. I tried to re-install my backups from the CD I burned. But I cannot mount the CD or DVD drives as I don't have permission (as a user). I can re-boot the machine and log in as root, and then mount the drive and copy the files over, and then re-boot as user. But if I do that I still can't access fy info (address book etc.) as they 'belong' to root! So, how do I mount the drives as user?
Have you sorted this yet? If not, then...
Chances are your username isn't attached to the correct groups. Could you post the output of 'ls -l /media' (I think SuSE mounts all the discs there) so we can see which group the cdrom belongs to and the output of 'less /etc/groups | grep username (where username is your username (bet you couldn't guess that one <grin>)) so we can see which groups *you* belong too please?
