cd burners, was: Re: RH7.2 w/Speakup enabled

[Gregory Nowak]

Ok, but again, not everyone runs redhat.
I for example run slackware, which doesn't do such hardware detection leaving me to read the cd writing howto.
Yes, I know I could've picked redhat, but there was slackware's zipslack modified into zipspeak, and there was my drive entirely taken up by a fat32 partition, and there was me wanting to have a easy shot at linux (grin). So, that's how that story goes.
