burning CD's in linux

[Brent Harding]

Besides making the kernel a little bigger, does it make much difference if
I put the scsi stuff in the kernel itself too? I know this post
install/preinstall stuff with the insmod stuff that the howto suggests
makes no sense, since most modules I've ever had to add didn't matter where
they load. Then cdrecord and mkisofs will come in to play. Actually, from
trying a boot disk to see if this new system allowed me to boot linux ones,
hdd is the creative cdrw, which I assume becomes scd0 and my CD-ROM stays hdc
