Except it does not appear in my conf file; I am curious why the software is trying to use it as a default. And the KDE app has no manual page, and no obvious way to change the device it looks at. Maybe a symlink of /dev/cdrom (a la Linux ? I shall try that out later). Also cdplay does not actually complain about anything, it just does not work until you specify the correct device with the "-d" option. Why on earth would any piece of software to play a CD try and use a default device for a long-defunct piece of hardware ? -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
