I am guessing that this is a good sign when my box boots....I see that it sees my scsi card and my scsi cd-rw. My question is how do I burn cds under linux? Are there docs on and can anyone recommend good software to do the burning and so forth. :rolleyes:

hello,
you have a real scsi device, you should have an easytime of it!! get xcdroast available for every distribution i know of. there also is a how-to at www.linuxdoc.org (http://www.linuxdoc.org)

Yup, you will need to setup cdrecord/xcdroast to burn cd's... Check the CD Writing HOWTO at www.linuxdoc.org (http://www.linuxdoc.org)

thanks guys...I will check it out.

those programs posted above are good but if you want to check out that your cdrw really is there do a "cdrecord --scanbus"

that will tell you what cdr is recognized by your system.

good luck
