Should it be? Yes, make sure hal, udev, hotplug, discover are all installed. There is a question about whether or not you want to have the kernel manage the links or not (you should answer yes to it), I cannot remember which package asks it. Also, make sure that the ide-cd module is being loaded. Sometimes discover and/or hotplug don't quite get it done and udev never makes the /dev/hd* files nor do the links get managed properly. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
