Hi, If you use KDE and Konqueror to look at files, finding out what the links link to is easy. Merely place your cursor over the link -don't click it- and then look down at the bottom of the Konqi window and you will see something like the folloiwng: cdrom->/dev/sr1 If you have placed the cursor over a device driver you will see something like: cbm Character Device If the file is a text file you will see something like: ncsd.conf(1.4KB) Plain Text
Wave your cursor around and see what it gets you. HTH, RA Richard: Thanks much. Learned something new. Please see post from Carlos and my response. May be you can help with the solution.
My links are: dvd->hdc Block Device (Link) cdrom->sr1 Block Device (Link) cdrom1->sr0 Block Device (Link) cdrecorder->sr0 Block Device (Link) What is confusing me the most now is that boot.msg shows only hdd=ide_scsi being passed to the kernel in grub. Yet boot.msg seems to be saying that both hdc and hdd are being scsi emulated. Also in fstab there are normal entries for all four directories. Confused and looking for some light. - -- Yours, Ralph.
