The relevant line in my /etc/group file is audio:*:29:gavin

Also: I can mount /cdrom as normal user if the CD is a data file, which
can include mp3 & ogg files. But I can only mount audio CDs as root.

It's such a long time since I dealt with this sort of problem in Debian
Woody that I have quite forgotten how to fix it.

Apart from this little problem, the old laptop is working very nicely.

Any help much appreciated.

TIA

Gavin.
