Chicks_Hate_Me's Journal: Burning CDs like an LA Riot

Newsflash! Paul has accomplished getting CD-Writing to work in Debian Linux, if that doesn't give me 1337 h@x0r status I don't know what will. So how did I accomplish this? I don't exactly konw but it somehow works...

After reading through the CD-Writing HOWTO I added this wonderful line to /etc/lilo.conf:

image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
append="hdc=ide-scsi" # this line kiddies!

I did a 'cdrecord -scanbus' and nothing came up. I messed around in xcdroast (which requires you to be root so I had to issue a "su -c 'xcdroast'" from a terminal window in order to get it open) I noticed that somehow it detected my Plextor IDE cd writer. When I wasn't paying attention, I realized that I needed to type 'insmod sg' in order to load the SCSI module. After fiddling around a little bit more and deleting my old symbolic link of /dev/cdrom and doing a 'cd /dev && rm cdrom && ln -s scd0 cdrom' everything seemed ok. I consulted the xcdroast manual to learn how to burn a CD and I sucessfully burned my first Linux cd in years (which happened to be Gattaca ;)

...soooo good
