NOVIRUS [MPlayer-users] DVD drive support in RH8.0?

[Michael]

My fstab line looks like:
/dev/dvd  /mnt/dvd  auto  defaults  0 0

To make /dev/dvd I did 'ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/dvd'. Obviously /dev/hdd 
should be changed to whatever the drive is. If /dev/cdrom is already 
linked to it then you can peek at that to figure it out. Either way it 
should work as a dvd drive though. I just like to keep things named 
properly.
