Hello!
During the process of update & review & finish of Russian translation, I
found this place in cd-dvd.xml (english version):

===Cut===
<para>
You can also try
<screen>echo current_speed:4 &gt; /proc/ide/<replaceable>[cdrom
device]</replaceable>/settings</screen>
but you will need root privileges. The following command may also help:
<screen>echo file_readahead:2000000 &gt; /proc/ide/<replaceable>[cdrom
device]</replaceable>/settings</screen>
</para>
===Cut===

This means to change cd-rom spin spped to 4x.

The problem is, that IIUC (from Linux sources), first command will try
to cahnge xfer_mode, but not the spin speed, Moreover, seems that value
of 4 is totally incorrect!
 So if nobody objects, I'll remove this command from xml&HTML docs
at monday.
