Re: [MLUG] Backing up MP3s on CD-R's without tar

[John Engelbrecht <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I see, well, my best experience is to follow the document
and do it manually or use the latest webmin program to burn CDs.
I have to do it Manually cause the ide-scsi support in 2.6.0
is broken.

Or i have to edit a config file in webmin so  it uses
dev=ATAPI:/dev/hdd for my DVD/CD Rewritter or /dev/hdc for CD-RW
drive, which is all pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

If you do want to use ide-scsi emulation which isn't necessary these
days, you'll have to go back to kernel  2.4.x.
