You are reading this list long enough to know that this is just an information
about non-userfriendly interfaces in Linux. If you like them to disappear,
talk with the Linux Kernel folks and educate them how to implement clean and
orthogonal interfaces. I finally gave up with the Linux Kernel people, they seem
to be unable to have target oriented discussion and don't like to make Linux
user fiendly.
Note that with cdrtools-2.01.01a20, you no longer need to specify the "dev="
parameter if you have only one CD/DVD drive and if the OS is user friendly.
This applies to Solaris, FreeBSD, BeOS, HP-UX, IRIX, MS-WIN, NextSTep,
SCO-UnixWare, SCO-OpenServer.
Cdrecord will on these OS just scan the SCSI address space for possible drives
and use the one if exactly one is found.
