It's sensible to suppose that if you're a newbie you're using one of those "pre-packaged" kernels. With some notable exceptions, the pre-packaged kernels have everything you'll need (and more) to get your hardware working. You'll probably only need to enable scsi emulation. You need to just add a line to your /etc/lilo.conf like: append "hdd=ide-scsi" The hdd varies with the actual drive designation of your CD writer (the most popular use of the scsi emulation stuff). Then you add the corresponding module to your /etc/modules file: a line for (surprise!) ide-scsi
