[PLUG] Re: Newbie's first question[s]

George,
*To get the CDR/CDRW working you will need to add something to your fstab
file, this is a rough example:

/dev/hdc	/mnt/cdrecorder	iso9660	noauto,user		0	0

*Create a directory, /mnt/cdrecorder and make it readable for all users
(right click on it in your file manager and choose properties, then change
the permissions)

*add the line "hdc=ide-scsi" to your lilo.conf file (again, assuming hdc,
the secondary master, is your CDR/CDRW)

*you'll need to then actually run lilo to have the change take effect.  read
"man lilo".  One thing to note is that if your hard drive uses large block
addressing, which I'll bet it does (check the BIOS, see if the hard drive is
set to "LBA") then you'll need to use the LBA switch when you run lilo
(lilo -L).

However, from what you've written, I really suspect that your hardware is an
issue and this question should be dealt with first.
