Just a minor request...I've been using my Dad's USB2 CD-RW, a Philips
Jackrabbit, and was rather impressed that it worked just fine in
Mandrake. However, at first it didn't, and it took me quite a lot of
Google digging to find out (from an old Mandrake list post, as it
happens) that you have to do "modprobe sg" before the CD writing apps
will find the drive. Would it be possible to load this module for USB CD
writers when they're plugged in? if that's done, they should work
perfectly transparently - just plug in, run a CD burning app and go.
This is the lsusb output for this particular drive:

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0471:0811 Philips
