CD-ROM will be something like /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd or /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd ... in the SCSI case a /dev/sr0 symlink is set up for you. Dunno about IDE as I'm using SCSI-emulation anyway. CD-writing generally needs SCSI-emulation and SCSI generic devices, so /dev/sr* (reading) and /dev/sg* (writing) are what you need. You obviously need SCSI generic and CD-ROM support in the kernel or as modules as well as SCSI-emulation compiled into the kernel or as a module. > Maybe the answers to my questions are given in an FAQ/HOWTO? Well, yeah. This post also belongs on debian-user as it has absolutely nothing to do with debian-development ... redirecting it there. -- Nathan Norman - Staff Engineer | A good plan today is better Micromuse Ltd. | than a perfect plan tomorrow. mailto:nnorman@micromuse.com | -- Patton
