Is there anything wrong with this?

We do this dynamically using "hal" in explorer.exe already...
What OS do you use that it does not work?

Also you should also symlink the :: to the cdrom devices
(d:: -> /dev/cdwhatever)

Ciao, Marcus

The drives are not created under dosdevices in Ubuntu/Gentoo. I always have 
to go in and add the drom drive manually in winecfg under both distros.

They are added fine for me in Gentoo here.  Make sure you have dbus and hal 
started, and that wine is built with the appropriate use flags.

When I tried last Ubuntu it worked just fine. Slackware 11 is
currently the only big one that doesn't have hal. I use slackware but
I don't care that there is no autodetection on slackware because I
know how to add them myself ;)   Slackware will have hal soon though.

Really?  As in v11.1, or as in v12?  I dont care about having to add
them manually either, but some people are really annoyed by it..  One
thing I should note is that even in my config.log, there isnt any sort
of big warning about hal not being there like there is about fontforge
or freetype, whichever it is.  Sure it isnt as big of a deal, but
still even a WARNING: HAL support will not be enabled due to missing
HALd/DBUS. line would be nice..

Too bad I'm switching to Gentoo soon..  Slackware dropped XMMS (which
I compiled and installed myself anyways), which really upsets me, so
I'm sayin bye bye slack..

configure will warn you about missing HAL support, you need to run
./configure --verbose though.

wine works without HAL, but with reduced comfort.

When fontforge or freetype are missing, no fonts are build, which
results in a "hard to use" wine.

I created a Patch a while ago.
Use "./configure --verbose" to get Hints for some Packages

v12 will have it. I don't know if it has been fully integrated. I will
test current after the semester ends. But I have not been a fan of hal
at all from seeing the other distros.

Dropping slack just because of loosing XMMS? Just get the slackbuild
and build it yourself. It's really no different than what you are
doing with gentoo. The reason Pat is probably removing it is probably
because he wants to get rid of gtk1.

The drives are present when you run winecfg?, I've treid on several distros 
and they aren't present.

Well, Slackware 11 for one.  Of course I had never actually checked
out gentoo before, and was just told exactly what it is, so now I'm
switching to it..  But its gonna be a while.
