I am trying to follow the install instructions for cdrecord at http://sunsite.dk/linux-newbie/Linux_apps.htm#writing_cds. The instructions tell me to add an "append="hdb=ide-scsi"" line to the lilo.conf file. I do this and when I run lilo I get an error about duplicate append lines. So I edit out the "append="quiet"" line. After following the other directions and rebooting, I find that CDRom2 is locked. How do I get around that? Then when I install cdrecord, I follow all the instructions down to where it says "ln -s /opt/schily/bin/* /usr/local/", at which I get the error "/usr/local//bin: cannot overwrite directory". When I try to cdrecord -scanbus I get a message that cdrecord command not found. What should I be doing here. Go easy on me, I am trying to learn this stuff Scootr64
