Re: [expert] /dev/cdrom doesn't point to device
What you need to do is comment out these lines in /etc/devfsd.conf file for cdrom. Once done, use kill -1 , then remove the cdrom link and you should be able to create the new link. #LOOKUP^cdrom$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink cdroms/cdrom0 $devpath #REGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink cdroms/cdrom0 cdrom #UNREGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrom Bunty On Thursday 18 October 2001 12:37 pm, you wrote: > Hi, > > After a fresh install of 8.1, I'm having trouble playing audio cds.

Re: [expert] Upgrading to KDE 2.2
You can get those libs from rpmfind.net. The order is kdesupport, kdelibs, kdebase, and other packages can be installed in any arbitrary order.
