David,

     You will need to recompile the operating system to get a CD recorder
running under
Redhat. Here is a quick set of steps for getting the new kernel built with a
minimun of
pain:

	1. Configuration
      For Linux 6.1, cd to /usr/src/linux-2.2.5.
      Run `make mrproper'
 
      Run 'make xconfig'

        In Floppy, IDE and other block devices:

		      Disable IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM support
		      Enable SCSI Emulation

        In SCSI support:

		      Enable SCSI support
		      Enable SCSI CD-ROM support
		      Enable SCSI generic support

        In Filesystems:

		      Enable ISO9660 cdrom filesystem support

      All of these options go directly into the kernel, NOT as modules!
      It might be possible with later versions of RedHat to use modules,
      but SCSI generic apparently had troubles as a module in the past.

      Run 'make dep'
      Run 'make clean'.
   2. Compile 
      Run `make bzImage' or `make bzdisk'

      The 'make bzImage' option will leave a new kernel in arch/i386/boot. 

   3. Installing the kernel 
      Check the file /etc/lilo.conf and see what the current setup is.
      The config file looks like this: 

         image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-14
               label=Linux
               root=/dev/hda1
	       read-only

      Edit this file once, adding a section for the new kernel as follows:

	    image=/boot/nu_vmlinuz
              label=new
              root=/dev/hda1
	      read-only

      Copy the bzImage which you just made into place (you would say `cp
bzImage
      /boot/nu_vmlinuz' ). 

      Run `lilo'
