I wrote a shell script that returns all found IDE cdroms by scanning through /proc/ide - interested? > This will work for PKGPATH as well, and > I think I can even auto-detect SCSI CD-ROMS, although I don't have a way to > test it (all my SCSI CD's are installed on remote server systems, so I can > check /proc/scsi, but I can't stick in a CD and reboot :) How do you go about finding a SCSI CDROM? All of our systems around here use IDE CDROMs - including those that are primarily SCSI-based systems (!). Seems the Compaq servers like to use SCSI hard drives with bootable IDE CDROMs - pretty interesting if you're trying to use LILO :( ...so now we use GRUB instead... I don't see anything in /proc/scsi that tells you if the widget at a SCSI address is a CDROM, Hard Drive, WORM, or what.... at least in /proc/ide there's a file called "media" ... _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
