Re: Desktop device icons

[Joseph Tate <jtate@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can change /etc/fstab and move the sym links in /dev without 
problems.  I use dvdrom and cdrw.  If you do a ls -l /dev/cdrom* you'll 
notice that they're just sym links to the appropriate block devices.  If 
you have links to the devices on your desktop in kde or gnome you may 
have to change them too.  I don't think anything else links to /dev/cdrom*.
