[PLUG] Re: Newbie's first question[s] - quick reply

I use X-CD-Roast as a gui frontend to cdrecord.  The author's just released
a new version, which I haven't tried yet.
It requires the latest versions of cdrecord, mkisofs, and another tool,
which are all available from the site
http://www.xcdroast.org

I didn't read your original message, but assuming you have IDE CDR/CDRW
drive(s) you'll need to set up SCSI emulation for them.  This is probably
as simple as passing a line to lilo at boot:
hdc=ide-scsi
(assuming your IDE CDR/CDRW is secondary master)
I believe you can add this line to file lilo.conf
Could a guru confirm this?

I use linux's cdrecord only. I don't know about gui tools. Many other list
tools use gui only and can help w/ this one. I post back to the list.
