Most media players assume the existence of a device called /dev/dvd. However that device is not created by default... You have two choices: 1) Change the preferences of the media player to point to the "real" device name or 2) create a symbolic link to /dev/dvd from the real device "ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd" presuming the DVD drive is called /dev/hdc (as it was in my case). --Rob On Mon, 2004-06-14 at 21:52, fred vachon wrote: > Hi, > > I have installed a DVD Multi Recorder on FC2 Linux machine.
