Ubuntu, part VIII
Huh? Things have changed since 2.4.21. I thought I couldn't get my CD to burn under Ubuntu last time. sudo cdrecord -scanbus shows only my scanner.
This time I'm less sleepy. Googling to an Ubuntu forum answer by somebody with the handle "skoal," I learned that you don't necessarily need one of those odd SCSI device numbers. You don't need hdc=ide-scsi at boot time. All you need is the regular /dev/hdc style device name and away it goes:
$ cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdc wizom.iso
So, uhh, how the heck did I just burn a CD as me? Not even sudo. That was very strange, but it worked.
