Thanks Mikkel
The nearest I can find is /etc/udev/rules.d/50-mdk.rules which contains the
following:-
# cdrom symlinks and other good cdrom naming:
BUS="ide", KERNEL=="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/sbin/cdsymlinks %k", SYMLINK+="%c{1}
%c{2} %c{3} %c{4} %c{5} %c{6}"
But its not clear how I would edit this to achieve my aims. Do you have any
ideas pleasr
Pete
