Was it ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom? Here is how my link looks: [rmiles@localhost ~]$ ls -l /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 2 01:21 /dev/cdrom -> hdc Was your cd reader not working? On FC3 systems it is mounted at /media. What does your /etc/fstab look like? Here is mine: # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0 -- Richard E Miles Federal Way WA.
