[opensuse] Device Assignments Help - 2nd Attempt
Since no one has answered my original post, I decided to post it again. Hopefully... (OpenSUSE 10.2) I have a CD player that is referred to as /dev/cdrom, at least that's how grip refers to it. The CD player is getting a bit flaky but I also have a DVD player that works well and I would like to use it for ripping purposes. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to determine what dev the DVD player is assigned to. Surely there must be a command that will tell me that but I cannot find it. Would someone tell me that command? I'd really appreciate the help. -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules

In my case; /dev/cdrom -> hda /dev/dvdram -> hda that is, as root; # cd /dev # ln -s hda cdrom # ln -s hda dvdram HTH, --- Masaru Nomiya mail-to: nomiya @ galaxy.dti.ne.jp "Bill!

Embarrassment all over the place. The very first application program listed in the "More Applications" list is "CD-ROM Info". It was staring me in the face the whole time. Thanks to those of you who responded. Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules Donald D Henson wrote:
