Actually 8.1 should pick it up as a CDRW once you put it in the box. Mandrake
is getting really good at that as evidenced by 8.2. Any way, once it is in,
try a console line "cdrecord -scanbus" and it should show you the recorder as
a something or another scilly. Like this:
[root@dennis dennis]# cdrecord -scanbus
