this list is great.
Caldera list is awesome, very nice attitude and general tone.
as for the companies that read lists, i am not overly optimistic, i
had bad experience with stormix and not going to beleive they go for
anybody but themselves.
i had a bad experience as a paying customer, apparently linux kids who
try to charge the same amount for support calls as MSFT does will run
out of cash sooner than they get those calls. different market.

Hi Yuri,
You will have to configure your CD-R post-installation. Configuring a
CD-R is beyond the scope of Installation support, however I can give you
a brief outline of what is required and I can give you a link to a very
detailed CD-R(W) HowTo at www.linuxdoc.org (
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO ).
For IDE/ATAPI CD-R(W)'s you will need to build (compile) a special
kernel. As the HowTo will discuss, this kernel will need certain
components compiled in to the kernel, as modules, or not included at
all. Essentially, your CD-R(W) will no longer be seen as an IDE/ATAPI
device, but rather as an SCSI device. The kernel that you will need to
compile will include SCSI emulation (a requirement for IDE/ATAPI
burners). As such, your device will no longer be referred to as /dev/hdx
(an IDE naming convention), it will be referred to as /dev/scdx (or
something similar...an SCSI naming convention).
Another good source of information is the September/October edition of
Maximum Linux Magazine. It's article: Learn to Burn is very helpful and
concise.
