Now first I admit ignorance but isn't a mount point just a directory reference in fstab? That is, link /dev/hdX to /mnt/xxxx, or any other directory for that matter? The mount point should be a trivial change. Since you can already identify a DVD player you know which is which. It kept throwing me off so I made the change myself and thought most people new to Linux would intuitively call the device dvd (/mnt/dvd) not cdromX. Sorry about reference to xine, thought that was /mnt/dvd not /dev/dvd. Gabriel
