I'm hoping this is a bonehead question with an easy answer: I just installed Fedora Core 3 from a dvd. The installation seemed to go fine, but I've noticed that /dev/cdrom doesn't exist, with the apparent consequence that I can't play CD's. Except on a very cursory level, I don't really understand what the entries in the /dev directory represent, and in particular I don't understand when or how they are produced. I do know that the cd drive works because I've checked it on the windows side (its a dual boot). Any idea why the /dev/cdrom directory (directory? file? I'm not sure what it is) wasn't created? More relevantly, is there any way to create it, and associate with the relevant hardware?
Any ideas would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks, Carl
