    perhaps they are already compiled into the kernel. If you have a SCSI
    burner, you could start burning right away. IDE drives still need SCSI
    emulation as far as I know. You can do this by adding 'hdc=scsi' to the
    kernel boot parameters (with hdc being your burner of course) or with
    lilo:
    image=/boot/vmlinuz
            label=Linux
            read-only
            append="hdc=scsi"

    Then run 'cdrecord -scanbus' as root to see if your burner is listed. If
    so, you can start burning.

    Note that from now on (with hdx=scsi) the CD drive has become a SCSI
    device, for reading also. So in stead of:
    mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom
    you should type now:
    mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom

    Greetz,

  NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
  (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
  16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a
  *real* 32-bit system.
