[Gregory Nowak]

Having an ide burner means that you need to know that you need to have kernel support for ide-scsi, and that you need to pass paremeters to the kernel in lilo.conf.
How are you going to know all of this? By reading the cd-writing howto. If this isn't rocket science, then please someone tell me what the howtos are there for, and why others besides myself on this list respond with "goo look at the cd-writing howto" whenever an innocent soul with an ide burner asks about writing cds in Linux?
Afterall, something that's not rocket science should be fully explanable via e-mail, especially on a listserv like this.
