Linux can't burn to IDE CD-R drives. It can burn to SCSI CD-Rs, and it can burn to IDE CD-Rs that are pretending to be SCSI ones. This means that you need to recompile your kernel to support IDE-SCSI emulation, and set things up so that your CD-ROM runs through the emulation layer. This is covered in some detail in the CD-Writing HOWTO, at least up to the required options. You'll need to use e.g. /dev/scd0 for reading CDs, not the /dev/hdX one you're probably using now. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
