From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: A symlink from /dev/dvd to the IDE/SCSI DVD device is used by most Linux DVD players to identify the DVD device. It would be useful if the application which creates /dev/cdrom (not sure if this is anaconda, MAKEDEV or something else) also created /dev/dvd (either all the time for all CDROMs, which is still better than the current situation, or only for DVD drives). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Red Hat Linux 2.Run xine or any other DVD player Actual Results: The player could not find /dev/dvd Expected Results: A /dev/dvd should exist.
