Well, very few things do last forever - that's why I prefere the eXtreme Programming style for software development. One aspect of it is: don't think about the future, because the future is unknown. Just take the simplest solution available for your current problem. If the requirements change, do the same again. > hum thinking about it, it's not very easy since /dev/cdroms/* are > moving independently of the names. Well, what about e.g. /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd then? ;-) -- Michael Reinsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mr.uue.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------
