Yes, this sounds like a good idea - a default cdrom device, settable by the user. It does not even apply to ports only - cdcontrol could check for such a default device too, instead of assuming a SCSI CD. (And yes, I have a MUSIC_CD variable set in my /etc/profile; but does every program ever executed inherit /etc/profile settings? :) There's just one minor point there - I think this is the user's responsibility to set, not MAKEDEV's. How should MAKEDEV know which device to create a symlink to? Examine fstab? examine dmesg output? Naaaahh :) G'luck, Peter -- Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
