Thanks for the link to qref.sourceforge.net, but I still have problems:
There is much overlap between what I found in CD-Writing HOWTO and the
sourceforge link.
It seems to me from the comparison that sr_mod is an historical
artifact, and that the module now goes by the name sr.
PLEASE,if someone knows for sure, one way or the other, email me.
And, module sr is compiled into the kernel in Debian-2.2rm4, which is
what I am using.
The rest of the stuff that the sourceforge document says to do is either
already there, or I have put it there, including an execution of lilo
and apt-get install cdrecord.
But when I run cdrecord -scanbus, I get:
Cdrecord 1.8 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Joerg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you
are root.
Of course, I did it as root (at least the last time). I had seen this
message before on my RedHat installation when I had not installed
ide-scsi, but now I have done that. What might I be doing wrong? Except
for this CD writer stuff, mine is very much a plain potato installation.
What diagnostics might I run?
Thanks,
Paul
