Any particular do's and don'ts or is it pretty straight forward? well, cdrecord is a command-line burning software. most GUI burning programs are simply frontends to it. Mandrake comes with them all ( if not all of them, it's really close ) so when you get your CD-RW drive, you just su to root and urpmi your way around. one way could be calling urpmi for cdrecord frontend, and urpmi will tell you what it needs. e.g. (as root) urpmi xcdroast or urpmi eroaster or urpmi gcombust or.. well, maybe all of them is a good idea, they are less than 1MB each.

Re: [newbie] Install CDRW on M 8.1 ?
No specific drivers are necessary. If it is an IDE drive you will have to enable SCSI emulation if you want to use its burning capabilities. The documentation that comes w/XCDROAST is excellent. Being more of a SuSE user I don't know whether or not KUDZU would set up the proper settings. Just my 2cents worth.

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.
