Thanks for help so far. I have tried several things. The dmesg reported: hdc: Toshiba DVD-ROM SDC2502, ATAPI CD-DVD ROM drive
I did a ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc as root and got /dev/hdc already exists Doing ls -l /dev/cdrom I get lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 16 Feb 14 10:09 dev/cdrom --> ../cdroms/cdrom0 Something keeps reseting /dev/cdrom back group=root after I set permissions to myself as group Here is /etc/fstab: /dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda2 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/hdc,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,nosuid,exec,ro,noauto,codepage=850,nodev 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/fd0,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,nosuid,exec,noauto,nodev,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 What am I not doing?
