| Post subject: | Dual DVD drives? |
Hello, I have two DVD drives in my system. One is a plain DVD drive and the other is a DVD burner. I have gotten DVD playback to work without problems (that I can tell) from my burner. However, I would ather be using my plain DVD drive for most playback. Being relatively new to Linux, how do I change the default drive to be my plain DVD drive? It is already the first drive on the IDE channel. How do I find out what device it is mapped to? Thank, Tim |

Look at what the /usr/local/bin/cd_link.sh script does. The problem is that it gets confused when there is more than one optical drive. All you need to do is the equivalent of the last hree lines with the drive that you want to be your default substituted for "$cd_name". |
