[Mplayer] dev/dvd symlink.

[a.hatzim@…]

As was already discussed in Blfs-dev,the current Mplayer instructions to create a /dev/dvd symlink are incompatible with the current udev rules.

The all paragraph is redundant since the current udev rules make all CD-ROM devices owned by the "cdrom" group, and automatically create a /dev/dvd symlink. A simple note about adding the user to cdrom group is sufficient.

The instruction to create the symlink has been commented out but I forgot to add a note to add users to the group. That is a good idea, and I won't close the ticket until this is put in.

The rules in LFS-6.2 don't create the /dev/dvd symlink automatically. I'd prefer if we added a pointer back to the page below so that people can figure out how to create their symlinks:

This can be removed again after BLFS-6.2 as the current udev (-100) has included cdrom symlink creation.

What do you guys think? I'll add info about putting users in the cdrom group regardless.

Attached a diff that adds the DVD information back in with a pointer back to the Creating custom symlinks page in LFS.
