Thanks,
You were right again Bascule,
Of course, I have Xine,(haven't yet succeded to get ogle to work)
I went to load the files and it refused.
Instead I did,
]#ln -s scd0 /dev/dvd
Immediately loaded the dvd files and now reboots cleanly.
Only question now is how do I correct my faux pas
I mean the ]#ln -s hdc dvd
]#ln -s scd0 dvd
]#ln -s scd1 dvd ,
is it easy to remove them. perhaps they don't do any harm anyway.
regards,
John
