Not a stupid question - it appears to be a fairly elementary omission from LM :) Things are halfway there - the kernel (8.2) appears to be set up but you need command-line tools to format CDRWs and set up the appropriate device. Download and install udftools-1.0.0b2.tar.gz from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-udf After a lot of fiddling with parameters I've got it to recognise the drive and format CDRWs (via cdrwtool) but reading and writing files (via pktsetup) ... not yet.
