create a file of any name you like in /etc/devfs/conf.d and then add lines like the following (change the device to the correct one of course) REGISTER ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink $devname dvd UNREGISTER ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink dvd and then run update-devfsd Also add a file in /etc/modutils with a lines like the following # Link my dvd drive alias /dev/dvd ide-cd and then run update-modules At least this is my setup - I forget quite why I did everything I did right now but it works. - -- Alan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8XikY1mf3M5ZDr2kRAuLpAJ9NnawhYbYEVgsOr55amAkyk9US+gCgq4hu m6CEugro1SrVUst7HrGLQnk= =H5BZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
