This chapter contains information on CD-writing in Linux. You will first have to configure your kernel for CD-writing, which is discussed first. After that, installing the acutal utilities is presented.
Additional sources of information on CD-writing include:
In the kernel configuration, check your settings with those listed below for your CD-ROM interface type:
SCSI CD-writer:
SCSI support menu SCSI support: Y or M SCSI CD-ROM support: Y or M SCSI generic support: Y or M Vendor-specific extensions: [1] Also include the low-level driver for your SCSI card if applicable.
IDE CD-writer:
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support menu IDE/ATAPI CDROM support: N SCSI emulation support: Y or M SCSI support menu SCSI support: Y or M SCSI CD-ROM support: Y or M SCSI generic support: Y or M Vendor-specific extensions: [1]
[1] Read the help to determine if this selection is applicable for your hardware.
If necessary, recompile the kernel with
make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc dep && make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc bzImage && make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc modules && make CC=/opt/gcc-2.95.3/bin/gcc modules_install
Copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage and /usr/src/linux/System.map to /boot. If you utilize LILO, edit /etc/lilo.conf appropriately and run lilo.
For more information about these settings and the drivers they install, read The Linux 2.4 SCSI subsystem HOWTO.
