I am a newbie-list transfuge as I could not find any help on the newbie list, so I turn to you for help. Please forgive me for posting such simple question, but I could find help nowhere else.
I am trying to install my external USB CD-burner (HP Writer Plus 8200 series external CD writer, connected on USB port) to my laptop. In order to submit you all the info, I will list here what I have found by looking around my computer. I apologize for the lengthy listings.
Here is what I get:

In terms of applications, linuxconf could not find the CDRW, neither could X-CD-Roast nor Gnome-Toaster.
Does this means that there is no way for me to burn CDs? Since I have an old laptop with no free space, an internal burner is no option (besides, I don't have the money anyway).
If worse comes to worse, can I at least use it as a CD drive? As of know, I don't see it even in this capaciy anywhere (not in /mnt or /proc/bus/usb).
Thanks a lot for any help,
Andrei
