This is what I found that even mentions DVD in the file: I'm only
including the lines that contain DVD.
From /etc/udev/rules.d/65-permissions.rules
KERNEL==pktcdvd|pktcdvd[0-9]*, GROUP=cdrom, MODE=660

From /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:
KERNEL==pktcdvd[0-9]*,NAME=pktcdvd/%k
KERNEL==pktcdvd,NAME=pktcdvd/control
Those are the only ones I can find. I used the find part of Konqeror to
do the search. Anything odd that you see? It looks like it should go
to the group cdrom and have permissions set to 660 to me.

[gentoo-user] USE flag question
A few days ago, I used eselect to switch profiles, from default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop to default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop. A lot of USE flags were removed from my make.conf, including the cpu-optimizations such as sse and mmx. After re-compiling a few things and getting warnings from the ebuilds that video and audio playback would be choppy without those flags, I put them back into my flags in make.conf. If I use ufed to manage the flags, as I'm used to doing, it takes them back out when I save changes. It seems strange to me that the profile switch should affect these flags. I think I'm overlooking/misunderstanding something, but I'm not sure what to ask.

When I give classes I usually let people do at least one install by themselves, then take them through the real underlying steps one by one: the installer is a regular program, it reads some data and writes it to disk. Assuming it isn't buggy, what it writes just happens to be the right thing that will boot an OS at next restart.

There is such a dependency for ~amd64. I was under the impression that this is not amd64 specific. In other words, I'm on 64-bit and updating glibc fixed the compilation errors. That means it might not fix anything for you if you're on 32-bit :P -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
