My note from recently installing Gentoo on a newly built machine : |
| 14 |
"for DVD drive, use BLK_DEV_SR to create /dev/sr0 ". |
| 15 |
Use 'make menuconfig' + search to find that string, then set the option. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
BTW I try to do things as simply as possible : |
| 18 |
using Fluxbox + Openrc, I mount /dev/sr0 on /mnt/dvd (as root), |
| 19 |
then (as user) 'cd /mnt/dvd' & use Most/Mupdf/Feh/etc to look at the files. |

Quick, effective, foolproof ... (smile) |
