Do you have the SCSI/iDE Emulation to be able to use your IDE CD Writer ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scheme Loh" To: "suse-linux-e" Sent: Monday, November 05, 2001 3:50 PM Subject: [SLE] burning a data CD

I need some help burning a simple data CD. I have a fresh install of SuSE73, during which I installed every CD writing package I could find. I bought a shiny new IDE HP 9150i and it seems to show up in most of the programs as a 9100i series writer, and there's no obvious indication that SuSE does not know what to do with the device.

This an underlying theme about SCSI this and SCSI that in all documents related to CD writing, but early reports seem to indicate that the superior SuSE 73 is doing a great job detecting hardware upon installation, and this seems to be in my case.

KOnCD seemed to offer the most promise, but I only get as far as "MasterCD: Not valid Image-File!"

KOnCD seems to offer to make an image file, optionally store it, and then burn a CD. I can't seem to make that happen.

I can seem to target the desired folder as a "Source-Dirs", and if I "calculate" it does report as 236MB. Even though I have checked "Create CD-Image" it ain't happening.

So I went to KOnCD.org and poked around, but there's not really any documentation, mostly a bunch of screen shots and probably well deserved self-congratulatory "we're in the official KDE now!" stuff.

I followed the link to the CD-Writing HOW-TO, and went through the steps of making an old school image file:

mkisofs -r -o cd_image private_collection/

Assuming this created a valid image file, KOnCD does not show it in the directory listing.

I'm sure this is "really easy", and I've read what little RTFM I could find, pounded deja.com and glimpsed geocrawler, and with that body of evidence seeminly exhausted, I now bring my case to the wise and fair juris of the list.

Thank you!

SuSE installed it's standard kernel on my box, and the only thing I had to do was, as root, chmod a+rwx /media/cdrecorder and /media./cdrom so that I could access them from my user account. X-CDRoast worked beautifully for me. Jerry On Monday 05 November 2001 08:50, Scheme Loh wrote:
