Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

DVD/CDRW Everything works except I can't burn to a blank disc
The DVD/CDRW will play DVD, audio CD, read data cds, and write a cd to a file folder. However when I try to copy from the file to a blank cd, Xcdroast tells me that I need to insert a blank cd. When I insert the cd, it doesn't recognize it.
This is on a Toshiba DVD/CDRW installed on an IBM T40 laptop. When I opened the terminal and typed cdrecord -scanbus I got the following:
scsidev: '1,0,0'
scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.25
cdrecord: Warning: using inofficial libscg transport code version (schily - Red Hat-scsi-linux-sg.c-1.75-RH '@(#)scsi-linux-sg.c 1.75 02/10/21 Copyright 1997 J. Schilling').
SCSI buffer size: 64512
cdrecord: Sorry, no CD/DVD-Drive found on this target.
TOC Type: 0 = CD-DA
I also tried cdrecord dev=help and received the following:
root@toucan:/home/nick# cdrecord dev=help

dev=1,0,0 it is not using the right drive. configure xcdroast, the confioguration hould let you choose a drive.
unless the removable device on 1,0,0 is the buner, but if it is then it is not being recognised as a cd-burner, is it by chance a dvd-ram? a -ram is recognised as a slow harddrive rather than a burner device.
