The DVD drive is cd0: <LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1S 9L08> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device and it seems to be there: http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?f=3D26&t=3D42777&p=3D205896&hilit=3DL= H+20A1S#p205896 ... so it means I can do something, I think. Btw, what, in the light of all this, means the following statement from libdvdcss/pkg-descr? """ - Just better. Unlike most similar projects, libdvdcss doesn't require the region of your drive to be set.
