USA > registered linux user 46097 > Thanks again Richard, however my specs are analogous to yours. Yet my system does not make the link. The "ls -l /dev/cdrom" gives File not found. I use "ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom", giving the same permissions as in your reply. The CD reader is working: FC3 was installed from there; CD Player runs from root (which first gave the pointer to permissions); Music Player plays tracks ripped via Sound Juicer. Also the cable is connected from drive to card. The fstab is essentially the same w.r. to /dev/hdc with the exception of the fs_file being /media/cdrom. The mount options are the same but in a different order. (I did not include the fstab output because I am mailing from a windows laptop. The FC3 box does not have the modem working yet. It comes after Samba is up, after the tape drive is going, after the CD.) Pointing CD Player to /media/cdrom gives: "Error Setting Device does not point to a valic CDRom device. This may be caused by: a)CD support not present (N/A) b)You do not have the correct permissions to access the CD drive (This error still given both before and after chmod 664 /dev/hdc) c)/media/cdrom is not the CD drive" (works with /dev/cdrom when permissions set). I hope this points to a solution. Regards Simon.
