Fuck E.T.A.!

yes it will work ..
are you posting cause you can't get it to work ?
or are you just wondering?

I'm asking because i can't get it work ...

th thing is i have read the CD-WRITING HOTWO but my cd-writer dosen't appear in the list of supported devices so i'm asking to continue de lecture process

well what is the problem and what are your errors ?
what app or command line tool are you trying to burn with ? and again what errors
are they yielding ?

i've tried with cdrecord but when i do

mauricio@debian:~$ su root 'cdrecord -scanbus'

cdrecord.mmap: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord.mmap: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord.mmap: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
cdrecord.mmap: Also make sure that you have loaded the sg driver and the driver for

i know the following thread below is related to the k3b burning program
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...+emulation+k3b
but i want you to focus on the answers given about enabling scsi emulation ...

after you suceed in enabling it, then try again ...
