Re: [SLUG] CD-RW suggestions?

I've got a Kodak IDE CDRW and it works great with Linux (including with
CD-RW discs).

You have to compile SCSI support into your kernel and compile out ATAPI
IDE support to make it work though, but this would be for any IDE CD-R
drive, not just CD-RW ones (see the CD-Writing HOWTO -
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html).

Any other IDE CD-RW drive would probably work similarly.

I bought mine at a local computer shop, so it should be easy for you to
find one somewhere.
