Ok now to try again... first time I sent something it went into the great bit bucket in the sky. I had a similar problem with an earlier version. What I found was the OOo was looking for /dev/cdrom and I had /dev/scd0 as my cd. So I went to /dev and did "ln -s scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd cdrom" without the quotes the scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd is actually what scd0 links to on my box. The result.... I could open things from the cdrom without hassle.
