i assume you want to have access to both (cdrom and cdrw). you would probably want to create a directory /cdrw. then rm /dev/cdrom, ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/hdb (or whatever your cdrom drive is), ln -s /dev/cdrw /dev/scd0 and add the follwing to your fstab: /dev/cdrw /cdrw iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 you could then access your ide cdrom by doing mount /cdrom and your cd burner by mount /cdrw. hope that helps. burkhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
