That, I believe, isn't necessary. I started burning with a prepackaged kernel. You just need to: (1) add something to lilo or grub that will tell the kernel to seize the cdrom for ide-scsi emulation. Something like: "hdc=ide-scsi" (2) load the appropriate module. Something like: insmod ide-scsi BTW the prepackaged kernel should contain all the cruft you should hope to need.
