<title>Configuring kdemultimedia</title>
<para>There is no explicit configuration for the kde multimedia package, 
however Kscd needs to find the CD drive.  The default 
is <filename>/dev/cdrom</filename> 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. <filename>/dev/hdc</filename>, <filename>/dev/scd0</filename>, 
etc):
<screen><userinput>cd /dev &amp;&amp;
ln -s "CD Drive" /dev/cdrom</userinput></screen>
