[NTLUG:Discuss] DVD player

> as I recall I have a /dev/hdc device..... same diff as hdd?

/dev/hdd is just my setup... 2nd IDE port, slave drive.

/dev/hda 1st port, master
/dev/hdb 1st port, slave
/dev/hdc 2nd port, master
/dev/hdd 2nd port, slave.

use which ever /dev/hdX your dvd is setup on... that's
assuming your using a distro that has /dev/hdX and not
something that has something like:
/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd
