This includes applications for burning CDs or for extracting data from audio CDs. SG_IO also eliminates the need for ide-scsi emulation, where boot-time parameters such as hdd=ide-scsi were required to support ATAPI CD burners. Applications packaged as part of Fedora Core 2 have been adjusted to take advantage of SG_IO. For example, to burn a CD using cdrecord, the old-style command was similar to this: cdrecord --dev=0,0,0 <iso-file> With SG_IO, the command would be similar to this: cdrecord --dev=<device> <iso-file> Where <device> could be any valid IDE (/dev/hdc) or SCSI/USB (/dev/scd0) device file name. -- Anand Buddhdev Celtel International
