How do u play dvd's in slackware 10, I would like all users to be able to access my dvd/cdrom at the moment only the root is able to access the cdrom. moreover in the /mnt path i can only see the cdrom folder.
try "ls -l /dev/cdrom" to find out what your cdrom device really is (probably something like hdc or hdd) and then ls -l (device) to find out which group has access to the cd drive, then add your users to that group. Alternatively, do a chmod o+rw if you don't care about all users (even non-human users) being able to read from the device.
