[plug] IDE CD Writer

[Simon Scott]

	Depends, Ive found that sometimes Mandrake gets it right, and
sometimes it doesnt. I recently added a dvd rom, and although it identified
it on boot, it failed to setup desktop icons etc... and it didnt add it to
/etc/fstab

	It was cool tho, cos it forced me to learn about supermount (it
rocks btw)

	The only thing with IDE cd writers is that linux only supports them
with SCSI emulation, using the IDE-SCSI module or something. 

	Try search for CD writer HOWTOs or maybe IDE-SCSI emulation and see
what you find.

	Morning , 

	I have recently fitted a Sony CDU928s  IDE CD Writer to my linux
machine (
	L.M 8.0 )
	On initial start up of machine should Mandrake find the devise as
new
	hardware and
	auto mount on desktop or will I need to go in and manually apply
mount
	points etc...

	If manual set up is required could you please advise any links with
info on
	how to go about it.

	Thanking You in Advance



	Chris
