The start up messages show the DVD @ /dev/hdd. I have symlinked /dev/hdd to /dev/dvd (or should this be rdvd?). What or where is a step x step to show how to get this running? I am tired of the choppiness of windows PowerDVD 3.0 and am hoping Linux is a better choice for viewing DVD's. Thanks in advance.
