Normally, they should be, if they use my ogle package at least : %post /sbin/ldconfig # If the /dev/dvd link doesn't exist, create a default one test -e /dev/dvd || test -L /dev/dvd || ln -s cdrom /dev/dvd || : My tests with links from dvd -> cdrom -> hdx worked, but I'd be interested in knowing if it doesn't for others, and changing it to dvd -> hdx fixes it (sounds strange, though).
