Answer to a): Log in as root and from a command line prompt issue the=20 command ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom Have a look at the manual page for the ln (link)=20 command with man 1 ln This will tell you all about both hard and soft=20 (symbolic) links. In the above case the -s command line flag makes a symbolic link=20 from the file named /dev/cdrom to the i-node that is /dev/scd0. You certainly did not (do not) need to use the=20 mknod command to resolve this problem. As for b), I don't know. Perhaps someone else would like to comment. Hope this helps. Regards Alan. =20 Alan =20 Very many thanks - as always I failed to RTFM! =20 Cheers =20 Geoff =20 --------------------------------- Never miss an email again! Yahoo!
