They just decided to move the default mount points to /media/cdrom etc instead of /mnt/cdrom. My /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/hdc. If you are missing that link, create it like this. ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom If you dont like the whole /media structure for mounting, just edit the /etc/fstab and change the appropriate lines Here is the cdrom line from my /etc/fstab on FC3 (which is also an upgrade) /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 As long as you have created a directory "/mnt/cdrom" you could change that to the following, or something similar: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 Nothing should be broken, its a just a preference really. -- Neal Mulcahy On Tue, 22 Feb 2005 09:51:48 -0500, Bryan Field <bfield1@mccanntech.org> wrote: >> well, all of the symbolic links i tried, didn't seem to work at all. >> there is no more cdrom or dvd in /dev anymore, and i tried Joe said, but >> it still didnt work.
