Many thanks for the tip, and I will go and look there. I will admit that I was a bit nervous about poking around too much in the present files as so many howtos and so on made a big deal about making your own. Strange thing is that I finally got so fed up with this that just decided to delete the symlinks and recreate them for what I needed. I figured that at least until the next boot I would have /dev/cdrom where I needed it and cd players and so on would work. What shocked me was that they were still that way after reboot. So now I am wondering if udev is even setting this stuff? I had made a rule in 010-local.rules for my mp3 player, a USB mass storage device, and that has worked fine from the moment I first restarted udev, even though nothing was affecting the dvd and cdrom symlinks. So, I knew that the rules were being implemented, but the ones for cdrom and dvd were not doing what they should. It is all a bit confusing to me.
