After thinking a little about this then I did this in /etc/modutils # AKC 10th Dec 2001 # v1.0 Special alias file # These seem to be standard modules not covered. alias net-pf-17 af_packet #packet filter alias char-major-6 lp #NVdriver puts this in aliases - but better in here alias char-major-195 NVdriver #define sound card alias /dev/sound emu10k1 #define scsi host adapter alias scsi-hosts aic7xxx #logitech joystick (? - not sure if I have right model) alias /dev/joystick adi # Link my dvd drive alias /dev/dvd ide-cd # These two lines are in place because /etc/modutils/1devfsd then maps # to the actual modules (and calls scsi-hosts - see above) alias /dev/cdrom /dev/sr0 alias /dev/cd-r /dev/sg0 But this depended on the setup already in /etc/modutils/1devfsd - the key line is alias scsi-hosts aic7xxx > > I expect you'll probably get it all going without more advice from me, if > so please post to debian-user about how you did it, I think that other > people will be interested. Well, I managed to create my first data CD using KreateCD - and then read it by mounting it on /dev/dvd - with just those two files above created. I think to be fair I don't think /dev/cd-r is relevent as KreateCD scans the SCSI bus itself and works out where the CD is. I tried a test run using cdrtoaster but that failed - I think this might be to do with it not supporting multisession cds - -- Alan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8FUJr1mf3M5ZDr2kRAolAAJ9Fd4PWnPoI0a+VN6v1OrAlNggIZACfTXeU MPCnFG3gey8MaAKTTxNOg8M= =8Huo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
