Hello, I have an external USB combo CD-RW/DVD R. Despite I have succeeded to mount my CD-Rom, I do not succeed to configure the CD-burner (see below for example what I obtain with the command line "# cdrecord -scanbus"). My linux distribution is a Fedora Core 2.6.5-1.358 The /etc/fstab file contains the line /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660,noauto,owner,ro 0 0 Is-there someone who could help me to configure my laptop for my CD-Rw burner ? Is there any bug in this Fedora 2.6.5 ? (by the way : the CD-rw is ok with my windose partition). Thank you for the info !
