well i thought i had it.........( thanks for any help--again..:( )
okay for easier assistance:--in order lilo.conf & rc.local--my kernel
is setup according to cdwriting HOWTO from i believe xcdroast page that
or cdrecord's homepage...........
last is my xcdroast program out put when it errors out which it
sometimes does........
lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-12
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda3
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#---I PUT THIS HERE because i had to do it manually everytime i booted
and got tired of it...............=================

working so commented out for now..
