I have posted numerous posts on how to install a CD Writer and it never
gets me anywhere.  I am aware about the HOW TO for CD Writers but
everytime I read it, I am lost after about the first page.  I kind of
know what I have to do to start but can't figure out how to start.  I
made a mistake when buying a CD Writer and got the IDE instead of the
SCSI, which I know that Linux doesn't support IDE so you need to load a
SCSI emulator.  I cannot find a How To on SCSI emulators.

Can someone just e-mail me back with an outline or a flow chart of
exactly what steps to take to make a IDE CD Writer (HP 7200 if you care)
to work with Linux Mandrake 7.  I am running one of the latest kernals.
(It actually finally works with my ATI Rage 128!!!!)

If you really want to can e-mail me back with detailed directions how to
do it from start to finish if you would like.  I am Linux illiterate.
The only reason I have got it set up as nice as now is many many many
times of trial and error of reinstalling and learning from mistakes.
But I can't even start getting the CD Writer setup.

Thanks A LOT!!!!!!
