Then your system is NOT like mine. I usually only get one device created and that is cdrom. You can change the default settings for Mplayer, Xine, etc to use /dev/cdrom instead of /dev/dvd or you can create a symbolic link from /dev/cdrom to /dev/dvd. However, if your system already has a symbolic link to /dev/dvd, then this doesn't apply. -- Bryan Phinney
