I`ve tried your solutions, but I recieve another type of error, specificly::
alpha:/home/mechanical# ln /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom ln: /dev/cdrom: File exists alpha:/home/mechanical# ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom ln: /dev/cdrom: File exists alpha:/home/mechanical# The same error occures when I switch the /dev/scd0 and /dev/cdrom in the ln command. Any suggestions for this ? Thanks for the help so far guys, i appreciate it.
