But that's exactly how you need to do it!
I think Brian gave a nice overview of how to get a cd-r(w) to work --
that's how you do it for just about any linux distro.
And that Linux Magazine article is really good on giving you step
by step instructions on how to get it going.
Since cd-r(w)'s aren't actually supported by the kernel (at the time)
and most linux OSes don't have direct support to that either, what
else could he say?
