That's most likely not a problem with blackbox, or Gnome, or anything else. Grip tries to open the CDROM device by looking for /dev/cdrom. It should have an option to specify an alternate CDROM device. Use it. If you're simply too bored to fix every damned program that assumes without asking you a CDROM can be found at /dev/cdrom, you can make a symbolic link from /dev/acd0c (or whatever your CDROM is called) to /dev/cdrom and let it use it's favorite name to find it. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
