[Sderby] Playing music from CDRW

[David Bottrill]

Gordon,

SuSE will have enabled SCSI emulation in order to get the CDRW to work, it is probably now appearing as /dev/sr0 rather than /dev/hdc

what you probably need to do is delete /dev/cdrom and make a new symlink to it from /dev/sr0

i.e.

ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom

You need to bee root to do this.
