does this help?
Markus
and one more thing, what does dmesg say about your usb DVD device when you freshly plug it in as Joseph asked?
Markus
There's my answer. tail /var/log/messages yields: May 18 21:12:15 susedesk hal-subfs-mount[17239]: registered at resmgrd and called(0) /bin/mount -t subfs -o fs=hfsplus,sync,nosuid,nodev,exec /dev/hdb "/media/STYC216E" "STYC216E" is the name of the disk I inserted. This is something I can massage into a variable and use. Thanks for the idea.
