FAQ
===

Q: I keep getting stuff like "kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device
sr(11,0)" in my kernel logs, what's up ?

A: The kernel IDE code contains a bug so that every time a program
asks if there is a CD-ROM drive in the drive, and there is none,
this message is printed. Quick fix, remove the lines that look like 
this from fs/block_dev.c in the kernel sources:

	printk(KERN_DEBUG "VFS: Disk change detected on device %s\n",
			bdevname(dev));
or in /etc/syslog.conf, add a line like:
	kern.debug                      -/dev/null
which will put all the debug information from the kernel (including this
recurring line) to void.

Q: Why did you choose VideoLan as the default DVD player ?
A: Multiple possible answers to that:
	1) Why not ?
	2) It has a GNOME GUI (yeah, but so does ogle !)
	3) It was the only DVD player which didn't hard-code /dev/dvd as the
	DVD device.
