Having problems because its really annoying to copy to hard disk and then to your burner? Well have I got news for you! I forgot this news so here's the next best thing... how I got burning "on the fly" to work. I've only tried this in X-CDRoast becaause it the only burner I gotten to work (and I only need one), so if you have something else, eh. I tried can do this without fidaddling around with stuff but i forgot what it's called. First thing you need to do is open up your /etc/lilo.conf file. If you have a burner and you're using Mandrake you should see a line which says Code: append="hdc=ide-scsi" . Modify that line to read Code: append= "hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" . If you don't you need to pass those options to the kernel somehow (no I don't know how to do it.) I have a DVD-rom instead of a CD-Rom, so people with CD-Roms can skip the DVD part. Next you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab file. This is my fstab cdrom entries with supermount calling the shots Code: /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 This is my cdrom entry w/out supermount running things Code: /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 Edited: See note below (1). Ok. To have non-root users access you cdrw and dvdrom add the entry user; it's shown in red. w/ supermount Code: /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=iso9660,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 w/out supermount Code: /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom fs=iso9660,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 fs=iso9660,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 Now it time to enable scsi emulation for the dvd/vcdromw/ supermount; change the /dev entry for your dvd/cdrom to /dev/scd1 Code: /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=iso9660,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 w/out supermount Code: /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom fs=iso9660,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 /dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 fs=iso9660,ro,user,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 *Note* The entries w/out supermount may be incorrect since I made them up, but it should look similar to the made up entries, hopefully. Now comes the part for the dvd. I'm assuming that you have a link to your dvd device called /dev/dvd. Well now you dvd player has to know about the changes. At a command prompt do this Code: ln -sf /dev/scd1 /dev/dvd If you edited the configuration for your dvd player to point directly to your device edit it again to point to /dev/scd1. (added the following line by JeroenM on advice of RickFriedman) Since the lilo.conf file is being changed, you need to run lilo to make sure the change is accepted. From the command prompt, simply type: lilo and enter. That should do it. Whew that took a while. Oh yeah I suppose I should add the obligatory If you should decide to try this tutorial back up all the files to be edited. No guarantees are made that following these steps won't blow up your computer and leave it a charred pile of rubble. Enjoy Very Happy (added the following lines by JeroenM on advice of Smigs) This little bit might be handy: To get audio cds working in xmms again (they stopped working for me at least): Goto 'preferences' ->'Audio I/O Plugins' ->'CD Audio Player' [libcdaudio.so] click configure and change the device for /dev/hdc to /dev/scd1 (or whatever your device is) For the 'AudioCD Reader' Plugin [libcdread.so] which also comes with mandrake: click configure, goto 'options' and change the 'default cd device' (1) Edited 27-05-2003: Sometimes /dev/scd* may be different from /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1. /dev/scd0-1 is another example. You may have to to look in /etc/fstab for other possibilities. eg: /dev/scd0-1 /mnt/cdrom auto user,umask=0,noauto,unhide 0 0 /dev/scd1 /mnt/dvd auto user,umask=0,noauto,unhide 0 0 (edited as per Steve Scrimshire request) JeroenM Moderator Joined: 16 Apr 2002 Posts: 594 Location: Leuven, Belgium Post Posted: Wed May 22, 2002 2:32 pm Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ Thank you. If some people can test this and it works for them this can go into FAQ and HOWTO AFAIK. So people: start your copiers and test this!

A veteran Linux user would know this but a newbie probably wouldn't. Since the lilo.conf file is being changed, you need to run lilo to make sure the change is accepted. From the command prompt, simply type: lilo and enter. That should do it. Otherwise, the instructions are perfect. Worked like a charm for me.

Actually trying to copy a cd didn't work though, but http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.php?t=1073 should hopefully solve that for me -- someone should amalgamate all this into an faq/tutorial Smile edit: /me should look back at first post of thread before saying that Wink edit: success! the above thread solved my problem Smile Smigs Last edited by Smigs on Mon May 27, 2002 7:46 am, edited 1 time in total JeroenM Moderator Joined: 16 Apr 2002 Posts: 594 Location: Leuven, Belgium Post Posted: Sun May 26, 2002 6:44 pm Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ what do you think we're doing here?

If you have ANY problem and do not use alpha10 yet, don't bother to write me a mail. Install the alpha10 and chances are very high that your problem is fixed. rsd Frequent user Joined: 03 May 2002 Posts: 38 Location: Great White North Post Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2002 10:50 am Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ > From the command prompt, simply type: lilo and enter. > That should do it.
