I've got YDL 2.3 and a portable FW CDRW on a new iBook. In a previous post on this list: http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-general/2002-July/00 3343.html it mentions sleep 2 modprobe raw1394, but on http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/solutions/ydl_general/firewire_disks.s html ,it doesn't. What exactly does "sleep 2 & modprobe raw1394" pertain to? Thanx, Tom
