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
