Subject: Re: [blug] FC3 Problems

Bryan,
I've got FC3 at work, and I noticed the same thing, but its not
actually a /dev/ issue.  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.
