Hello,
I am using an ide cd-writer (HP7100i) to burn cd's. I have recompiled
the kernel (2.0.34) with scsi emulation enabled. So far I am able to
burn cd's after making an image of the files/directories I need to
burn using mkisofs. I have some problems/questions for which I need
some assistance
Just posting to thank everyone who helped me to sort this out. My
problem was that I hadn't selected all the necessary options in the
sound section of the config. I also needed to create the audio device
