VLC at least, and Xine. Most of them actually, I guess.



Xine looks rather nice and doesn't have that many dependencies as VLC. Now I only need to know how I get the /dev/dvd device. Is there a package for that as well or is it somewhere documented?

On this box, /dev/dvd is a symlink to the actual drive device:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 2004-06-29 17:45 /dev/dvd -> /dev/hda

so you should just be able to:

#ln -s /dev/hda /dev/dvd

(only use the correct device for your drive)

(BTW, why are manufacturers like Dell and Gateway reversing the primary drive and CD/DVD drive locations lately, so that the boot drive is on /dev/hdc and the CD/DVD is on /dev/hda? Is there some purpose in that?)
