This one is kind of solved. I did some searching in /etc and found the 
udev/rules directory. In there I found a file called 
70-persistand-cd.rules and took a look. It still had the rules for the 
Lite-On CD drive I removed. Luckly I had pulled the DVD writer from 
another F8 machine and poked around in the same file and found 
everything. The only thing I had to change was the device path since it 
was not the same between the two machines.

Follow up question: Which application is supposed to take care of this? 
Kudzu? Udev itself?

Thanks,
Richard
