There is one idea which you may or may not call trial and error: 0. remove all external drive, USB sticks and iPods 1. get all the device names: ls /dev |grep -E [hs]d[a-z]$ 2. the first few results correspond to your hard drives, eg. if you have two of them, their names are /dev/hda and /dev/hdb 3. The entries after those are your CD/DVD drives. Now eject them one by one: eject /dev/hdc ... and mark the one that will open. -- Nyizsa. http://nyizsa.uni.cc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
