[olug] dvd set-up woes-SOLVED

[Eric Pierce]

Daniel, Jonathan, & David,

Thanks for your replies!
I posted my message at SuSE's mailing list
concurrently.  A mix between Daniel's reply and what
someone said there did it.  My DVD-ROM needed to be
accessed via it's scsi device location.

I found that by:
# hwinfo --cdrom
...SNIP...
  Device:  "DVD-ROM DVD-116"
  Revision: "1.21"
  Driver: "ide-scsi"
  Device File: /dev/sr1
...SNIP...

Thanks again!
Eric Pierce
