 If you mean you're trying to read directly from /dev using konqueror, I
 don't see how that would work. There are (strictly speaking) no files in
 a /dev, it's just a sequence of bytes. Now, if you mount the device
 under /mnt/cdrom, and then open konqueror and view what's in /mnt/cdrom,
 then that's different.
No, I meant clicking on the mounted CD icon gives the KIOerror :-)
Yes, I'm able to do everything   /mnt/cdrom .
I have no idea what I (must) have altered, but it used to work just by 
clicking on the icon .
