The new versions are called "Jokes" and "Mother's Day Order

Due to differences in the basic composition of CD-R and CD-RW disks, a
CD-RW will not register in a standard CD player, nor in many CD-ROM

You can't mount an audio CD, so that's not a problem. Here's the
series of steps I take to use XMMS with CDs. Hope it's easy to follow:
Open Playlist, and say "New List" to clear out anything that might be
in the way.
Choose Dir + (add Directory), then move to the /mnt/cdrom and hit OK.

Jonathanyou can only have one append line per boot image.
The line is placed where it should be by default and if there
is nothing to append than it looks like this:
append = ""
you can then add, in between the ""'s, any appends needed for
your setup, multiple appends are seperated by a spa
