perhaps they are already compiled into the kernel. If you have a SCSI
burner, you could start burning right away. IDE drives still need SCSI
emulation as far as I know. You can do this by adding 'hdc=scsi' to the
kernel boot parameters (with hdc being your burner of course) or with
lilo:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=Linux
        read-only
        append="hdc=scsi"

Then run 'cdrecord -scanbus' as root to see if your burner is listed. If
so, you can start burning.

Note that from now on (with hdx=scsi) the CD drive has become a SCSI
device, for reading also. So in stead of:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom
you should type now:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom

Greetz,

  NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
  (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
  16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a
  *real* 32-bit system.
