thank you both very much. I was of course confused and you set me straight.
I have still been fighting udev, and need to reread that reference which i read so long ago.
However, it is true that I am having trouble and got some
error messages from ogle (on a different machine so i cant just copy them in) that made me think that
there was a "permissions" problem with /dev/dvd. Obviously there is not so I will have
to dig deeper to see what the problem was.
Thank you all for your help.
