This sounds like the same problem that 1.0 had. The default CDROM
device is /dev/matcd0. It can be changed in the .kscdrc file (I've
rm'd KDE, so I can't give you the syntax). It's a catch-22 because
.kscdrc (in ~/.kde/apps I _think_) is empty until you've run it
once, and you can't run it coz you don't have a device entry.....
You could try ``CDDevice=/dev/acd0c'' in .kscdrc. If that doesn't
work, you could rm /dev/matcd0 and make it a symlink to /dev/acd0c.
That's how I got it working.
