Thanks to Sue Blake for pointing this out to me. If installed it comes with a manual page, that if read scrupulously it implies that the /dev part of the device name is not required. The manual page unfortunately implies by it's authorship and history that it is part of the base system. So maybe that needs to be corrected. Really "eject" needs rewriting to take the mount point of the CD device(s) as an argument (or at least an alternative argument, so as not to break anything). Who knows, I may just do that. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
