FWIW, an older card may not handle the GUI installer that well. I have an
older machine acting as a server, but for various reasons, I need X
installed, so I tried the GUI installer at first. Wouldn't work. Kind of
odd, as this is a card that *used* to work just fine w/ X/Linux, a Matrox
Millenium w/ 4MB memory. Works fine if I use the text mode installer, and
set up X from there. YMMV

I have a Yamaha IDE 16-10-40 CDRW, which works well under Linux. RH 7.2
set everything up just fine, and after I grabbed XCDroast off the net and
installed it, I was burning CDs just fine. My only gripe is that the
vaunted 'Burn-Proof' feature is about as worthless as tits on a boar.
Doesn't work in Windows, and isn't recognized in Linux. Linux is a lot
more forgiving about that kind of stuff, so it isn't really an issue under
Linux, whereas under Windows, you could forget about running a browser
window while burning a CD.
HTH,
Monte
