if your CD-writer is ide you need: 1. the modules sg and ide-scsi installed in the kernel (with modconf or insmod) 2. the packages: cdrecord mkisofs for the CD-audio cdda2wav or cdparanoia 3. into lilo add this line: append = "apm=on apm=power-of idebas=33 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi max_scsi_luns=1" don't forget to do /sbin/lilo 4. create the directory /cdrw 5. into the file fstab: /dev/scd0 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/scd1 /cdrw iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 6.create the synbolic link: ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrw 7. do cdrecord -scanbus to verify ... man cdrecord mkisofs cdda2wav cdparanoia hth. -- Gerard
