hi -- pretty simple question -- i want to play audio CDs via the sound
card. i have a soundblaster, and a scsi cdrom. there are a bunch of
packages to choose from. the one i tried to use needs motif, which
i don't have. which should i use?
(semi-related: under linux (and probably other sysV-ish systems) i
can put an entry in fstab that defines the default filesystem type
for a device, but doesn't force it to be mounted at boot time. this
is really useful for floppies and cdroms, since the default fstype
is different than for most filesystems (i.e. msdos and iso9660 respectively),
but there's often no device present when the system boots. under
freebsd, there appears to be no "noauto" mount option to accomplish this,
which means i a) either always have to enter the fstype for a cdrom mount,
or b) always have to have a CD present when booting. given that i want
to start playing audio CDs, option b) doesn't work for me anymore.)
