Configuring kdemultimedia There is no explicit configuration for the kde multimedia package, however Kscd needs to find the CD drive. The default is /dev/cdrom which may not exist on your system. The easiest way to do this is to create a symbolic link to this from your CD drive (e.g. /dev/hdc, /dev/scd0, etc): cd /dev && ln -s [CD Drive] /dev/cdrom Contents Major programs in kdemultimedia include aktion, artsbuilder, kaboodle, kmid, kmix, krec, kscd and noatun.
