Yes. /dev/scd0 (or /dev/sr0 which is a symlink to scd0) - not /dev/sda which would be the first SCSI hard drive. > ---------------- > > The warning has some hint about scsi but I think Lite > On was supposed to be IDE so I don't have any scsi > functioning (the last time I tried to get that working > I quit because it was messy) You've got to use the ide-scsi emulation to write CDs with it. It isn't that messy... you need to have "SCSI emulation support" under "ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support --->" enabled (preferably as a module), also "SCSI CD-ROM support" and "SCSI generic support" under "SCSI support --->" (referring to make menuconfig). Stick "hdc=ide-scsi" in your kernel boot parameters and stick "ide-scsi" in /etc/modules. Make sure /dev/scd* is mode 660, owner root, group cdrom, and that your user is in group cdrom. Also make sure that /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/hdc. Reboot with your new kernel, then read man mkisofs and man cdrecord. Having said that, it looks to me like what you're trying to do is mount a writable CD in such a way that you can simply write files onto it as if it was an ordinary hard disk, like with Adaptec DirectCD and the like in Windoze. I've never tried to do this and man cdrecord isn't very informative about it, so I'll refrain from comment other than to say you still need ide-scsi for it. > The warning is probably just about there being NO file > system (as the cd is completely empty, right ?) True but irrelevant. The important part of that message is that it reveals that your CD burner is not using ide-scsi, so you can't burn with it yet. > What should I do to solve this & get the burning > working? > If I've got this working, I'll first just try to write > a backup of my files onto a RW cd, after that I'll try > and look at burning debian cds (!!) Duplicating ISOs is about the easiest CD burning operation there is... -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
