Help. I have tried for 2 days now to figure out the install from two how-to's for the new CDRW that I bought for use on Red hat 7*. (This box is 7.2 uptodate.)
The OS on the box recognizes the Sony CDRW CRX195A1 just fine as an IDE. But I can't install the Recording/Playback software into the correct files. Almost all of the files that are talked about in the 2 how to's I found are not on the 7.2 installation I have on the box. Are these just bad how-to's? One I know now is too old for Red Hat 6*. They both say you must make the OS think the IDE CDROM RW is a SCSI. Ok. They all,talk about hd?=ide-scsi, but don't tell where in the tree it is. Is it in /etc/grub or where? Then it says to delete the /dev/cdrom and replace it with cdr/cdrw but not where to put it. It says under grub to add the line to menu-lst for example. menu.lst isn't showing any where on the system and neither are the SCSI modules for srO, sr1 etc... Or the /dev for the sr0, sr1 etc... Can any body point me to a Red Hat how-to which shows where to place these missing files in the directory tree? It seems impossible to know where to add a missing file like "menu.lst" on a Red Hat system as they have changed the tree structure and startup files several times since 6.*. (One of the reasons I don't usually use Red hat any more.) This box is for burning cd's only. So it has just the CDRW and a sound card on it and an HD for the OS and ISO files.
