Where it came in handy for me was when I initiated an installation (after making my selections in YaST Install and Remove Software) and only then discovered that my renaming of the symlinks in /dev and /media had rendered the I&R module incapable of finding the installation source (the distribution DVD, in my case). When that happens, you get an error dialog telling you the required media could not be found. In that dialog you can indeed edit the "dvd:///" and change it to "dvd:///;devices=/dev/hdc". After that you can click Retry (I think it's Retry) and the installation proceeds successfully.

Thank you, I will try this. But the problem was on another machine and I can get to it only in the weekend. Thanks, IG
