Re: [SLE] Two CD drives

CD burners are usually (only?) usable in Linux through ide-scsi.
At least for cdrecord. If you mount burner as /dev/hdd it will
be usable for reading CDs, not for burning.
If you want to burn CDs, please consult CD-Writing-HOWTO.
It should be available (on 7.0) as /usr/share/doc/howto/en/CD-Writing-HOWTO.gz
