+Salut Marc
+
+You can list the hardware installed with lshw (with root priveleges).
+Under &#171; nom logique&#187; / &quot;logical name&quot;?
+it gives all the device names used for each device.
+(In my case it gives /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrw, /dev/dvd, /dev/scd0, &amp;
+/dev/sr0, all for the same optical drive. But most devices list only 1
+device name.)
+
+lshw is really useful, just in case you don't have it installed.
