I'm running current with devfs son I just adjust everything in the script that I use to call ogle or mplayer by checking to see if I have a link to /dev/dvd or /dev/racd0c depending on which player and if not I create the ln -s /dev/acd0c /dev/dvd or racd0c and then start the player. Works fine and I just don't worry about reboots etc. Simple solution for a simple problem:-) ed Quoting Oliver Fromme <olli@secnetix.de>: | Brooks Davis <brooks@one-eyed-alien.net> wrote: | > > Why?
