Matt, I think the /dev entry you want is /dev/sonycd I have the same kind of drive, and I didn't need to create the device. Off the wall wild guess, I think the major number was 15. I can't be sure right now since my Debian machine is down with a dead power supply, but that is my vague memory... Since you probably only have one, the minor should be 0 Anyway check out http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/CDROM-HOWTO-4.html, it has a section on the cdu31a. Hope this helps. - Don ----- Don Prezioso Ashland University Phone: (419) 289-5015 System Programmer/Analyst 401 College Avenue E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Computing Ashland, OH 44805 http://www.ashland.edu/~dprez -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
