(End of file) Try changing /dev/hdc to /dev/dvd. If your system has automatically set up a device for your DVD drive, that ought to be it. If not, you might want to try /dev/sdc, instead (FC7 treats IDE as if it were SCSI, now). -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
