Re: CD Writer

[Yves Dessertine <yves.d@hrnet.fr>]

Hi Anna !

Linux doesn't use drivers like Windows. The Writer is or isn't supported by 
your burinig sofware. The most common writing programm is cdrecord 
(http://www.cdrecord.org). There is also a frontend called X-CD-ROAST. If 
you buy an IDE writer, you must run it in SCSI emulation mode. If it's an 
SCSI drive, it'll be supported without doing this. Take a look at the CD 
Writing HOWTO (http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html), 
espacialy at the section 2 
(http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-2.html).
