That's because you are working in a smaller universe.
Smaller? Naaah... just different. I work in Linux and Unix... work with it every day at home and on the job (no MS in my world). Just never run into problems with mount points and HAL.
Dvdshrink is one app that I can think of right now. It runs under wine and expects a mounted device, not a damned media label.
I use Linux native tools to rip and burn DVDs (there are some nice ones in the repositories=). It's simply too much hassle to futz around with Windows based applications in Wine. Heck, you could even use... XDVDShrink http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net/index.html
No, I do not think that I should create a simlink each and every time that
Never suggested that. Just used the one and only case I have encountered where the way mountpoints for devices are handled created a problem... and that was due to bad programming on the application side. I'm not suggesting a solution here.. just trying to see where the problem is. Trying to understand what is breaking so catastrophically that if it's not fixed it'll drive SUSE into Betamax obscurity.
