Re: Setting-up CDRW
I just did this again last evening on a new machine and it was loads
easier than i remembered it being.
I'm using kernel 2.4.19-k7 with both an ide cdrom and an ide-scsi
cdrw.
i added this line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/scd0 /cdrw iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
my /etc/modules includes this:
options ide-cd ignore=hdd
ide-scsi
