(There's absolutely nothing dishonorable IMHO about using a CD-RW to burn CDs of MP3s. Carrying around one CD with MP3s on it to listen to at work is a lot easier than carrying around 14 audio CDs.)

This probably means your CD-RW is now visible on /dev/scd0, since it's now pretending to be a SCSI (not IDE) CD-ROM drive.

(ie example commands) You should read cdrecord(1) and the CD-Writing-HOWTO. Both are probably already installed on your system, the latter in /usr/share/doc/HOWTO. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
