You can actually remove the hdd=ide-scsi option altogether and write to your CD Writer directly. ie. instead of: cdrecord dev=0,0,0 ... you use: cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd ... If you haven't already, any customization you did in the /etc/modutils directory has to be moved over to your /etc/modprobe.d directory. Those are the biggies I can think of. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
