Description of Problem: My system (ibm IntelliStation M Pro 6889) has an DVD drive (NEC) installed as a replacement for the CD-ROM. When I install Skipjack-2 onto this system (after modification of the drive) my DVD drive is hda (SCSI for harddrives) and a link /dev/cdrom is created to /dev/hda. A lot of DVD related programs (like xine which is part of the distribution) expect to find /dev/dvd linked to a propper device. kudzu (or anaconda?) should create a /dev/dvd link as well in case it finds a dvd drive (hardware browser reports: "_NEC DV-5800A") Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Skipjack 7.2.93 Beta - 2 How Reproducible: just install Skipjack onto a system with a dvd drive (at least by NEC) Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: A link /dev/dvd -> /dev/hd? should be created for a dvd drive Additional Information:

This is done as part of the udev config in later releases (FC3, FC4), and should be working ok.
