CD-Rom Problems

[karl larsen]

    I want to say thanks to Alex Dalloz who is a true Linux Expert. And 
he gives of his time to tell us what we need to know. I think, from what 
he told me is that Fedora Core 2 and up do not use the old kernel 
command to make all common IDE cd-rom drives appear to be scusi. This is 
news to me.
