If you're using an IDE CDRW drive, you first need to tell the kernel to treat it as a SCSI Generic device by including the line "hdx=ide-scsi" (where 'x' is whichever letter actually describes your CDRW drive on the IDE bus: "hdc", "hdd", etc. After rebooting with this kernel parameter, you should see new nodes in the /dev/ directory, e.g., "scd0" or "sg0". These are what koncd (and other cdrecord front-ends) are looking for. If you've already done this, run `cdrecord -scanbus` as root. It will search the scsi subsystem for any (CD|DVD)-RW devices and return data to help cdrecord/cdrdao/front-ends find them. (You also need to make sure that the user account burning these data has write permission to the cdrw devices; I've never used Redhat so can't tell you exactly how to go about this. Does Redhat still use linuxconf?) > 2) I currently do the webpage for our soccer league in Frontpage > (necessity not choice) and need to have a HTML editor that will work > with FP and FP extentions, any suggestions? I recommend Vim to edit anything, but it's just a text editor, not WYSIWYG.

Evolution is supposed to be closer to M$ Outlook than Lookout Express or NS Messenger, but I can't tell you for sure as I haven't used them. > Thanks for any help.
