Not that I've finished installing mine (I can finally read from both drives now) but here's some links I found that might be helpful http://www.aokiconsulting.com/pc/cdwriter.html http://www.wam.umd.edu/~urgent/howto.html http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue57/feenberg.html http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue57/stoddard.html and the big dog for the group (the CD-Writing HOWTO) http://www.guug.de/~winni/linux/cdr/html I'm running RedHat 6.2 (blech, last time I'll do that) and had to recompile the kernel to pull out the ide-cd stuff. You might want to have some references handy for that. For what my simple mind can follow, you'll need to use scsi emulation to burn a CD. Lastly, since I still move my lips when I read Linux documentation, I found that an article in the Sep/Oct 2000 issue of Maximum Linux had a brief but helpful overview (supplied enough context for further reading). - Dave -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Wilson [SMTP:wilson at visi.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2001 6:38 PM To: TCLUG Subject: [TCLUG] settings for a CD-RW It's an internal EIDE unit and I know that I've got to get SCSI emulation set up to use it. My question is more basic, however. I plan to call this /dev/cdrw and mount it at /cdrw. What should I put in /etc/fstab so I can use it? I assume that I can use the CD-RW and not just the CD-R part. -Tim
