Ok so here is my Problem. I install my gentoo box with a stage3. Installing system with a "CDburner/dvdreader" drive. Down the road i decide to put in a DVD-Burner. Swaping the physical drives out with out changing any thing. My question is can i change the entry in the fstab and symbolic links to point to a DVD device and not a cdrom so as to be able to use DVDrip and some other dvd options "mplayer" "xine"?
I have googled this alot and searched the forumn but most are to add a dvd drive to a already equipt cdburner or just cd system?
