Hi,

It's a nightmare to install this guy, at least for a beginner like me.

I do 
$insmod paride
$insmod bpck6
$insmod pcd

and then I can use it doing
$mount -t iso9660 /dev/pcd0 /mnt/cdrom/

1. But what about having it detected automatically? I noticed that in 
/etc/modules.devfs there is no mention of pcd device.

2. What can I do to have it scsi-emulated in order to use cdrecord?
$insmod pg ; cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.10 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J�rg Schilling
Using libscg version 'schily-0.5'
scsibus0:
        0,0,0     0) 'TEAC    ' 'CD-W58E         ' '1.0A' Removable CD-ROM
        0,1,0     1) *
        0,2,0     2) *
        0,3,0     3) *
        0,4,0     4) *
        0,5,0     5) *
        0,6,0     6) *
        0,7,0     7) *

But TEAC is my CD reader included in my Dell Inspiron 2500 laptop. However, 
it references the bacpack drive. When I setup xcdroast it mentions only the 
TEAC name but I did the setup with the bacpack values and I made it run. 
xcdroast reads a cd from the backpack (named TEAC in the program) and writes 
the track img to the disk. So far it seems that write capability would work 
(the writing begin but I have currently no available CD :))

   (By the way, when I start xcdroast from root I get these messages :
   ** WARNING **: Installation problem? No set-uid bit on /usr/bin/mkisofs
   ** WARNING **: Installation problem? No set-uid bit on /usr/bin/readcd
   ** CRITICAL **: file eazel-theme-draw.c: line 1640 (draw_flat_box): 
assertion `height >= -1' failed.
   )

3. How can I have my TEAC recognized in some way and then the backpack 
recognized with its real name?

Should I try to pass hdc=ide-scsi to the kernel?


Hope that helps. It would be nice to have a wizard to set that up for the 
newbies (the doc is a nightmare because there is no one-step information in 
that case).


Regards,

marc
