Hi Juan, /dev/cdrom is just a symlink to your actual CD-ROM drive. You can find out what your device is by looking thru the kernel messages with the command dmesg. Find the device and create a symlink from it to /dev/cdrom and you'll be fine. HTH, Harry Quoting Garcia Juan <jgarcia.2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: *> Hello everybody, *> *> i'm quite newbie to linux.
