mv /dev/pg0 /dev/pg0.old (save a copy) ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/pg0 (link the CD writer to pg0)
To use it from the command line to burn an ISO file: cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc <ISO_FILENAME>
To get Gnome toaster to use it, set the device as /dev/hdc with a SCSI ID of 0,0 (default).
Preferences, CDROM and Recorder setup, highlight drive (or select Add to create it).
Then enter the model and manufacturer, Device File = /dev/hdc (or as appropriate for your IDE CDRW),
Scsi ID 0,0 Mountpoint = /mnt/cdrom
Check [This Drive is a CD writer]
Check [ Use SCSI Interface for DAE ]
Click OK.
Click Apply, OK.
Happy CD burning....
Then it, too, should work (although only as root).
My current version of Fedora is 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1
