Reply-to: pgf@foxharp.boston.ma.us Date: Mon, 30 Oct 1995 13:50:44 -0500 From: Paul Fox Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk 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.) paul --------------------- paul fox, pgf@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma)
