If you are in such a hurry, well, yes.

Under 'normal' conditions (meaning that your drive is properly recognised), the recorder should be mounted automatically once you plug it in. Otherwise try a regular mount command from console:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/sda /<your mountpoint>

Since automatic mouting seems to be a problem, plug the drive in and type 'dmesg' on console. The last messages should deal with the drive recognition. Please post these messages and we can try to find the problem.

If you would like to stick to the SUSE nomenclature, you should choose something like /media/dvdrecorder or /media/sda. You need to create the mountpoint first: become root, type e.g. 'mkdir /media/dvdrecorder'.

But as I said previously, this should be done automatically by SUSE. If it does not work, the drive is probably not recognised. You should try to look at 'dmesg'
