<p><strong>Joey Winchester asked:</strong></p>
<p><strong>
I need to use the ide-scsi.o module, but NONE of the 'HOWTOs' help, they
just give the code to check 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Okay, my CD-RW's not
listed, so WHAT DO I DO?? The HOWTOs aren't helpful at ALL. So how can I
recompile the kernel to use my IDE drive as a CD-RW and NOT just a CD-ROM.
</strong><p>
<blockquote>You need to give the kernel an option, to warn it that it
not only requires the hardware level driver (IDE CDROM in this case)
but also the IDE-SCSI interface driver. This applies just as much
if your ATAPI device is builtin, or attached via Cardbus (as mine is).
The easiest place to put this is in your /etc/lilo.conf:
</blockquote>
<blockquote><code>
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
</code></blockquote>
<blockquote>If you have more than one kernel option, though, they have to
be in one big append statement. What will happen is that you'll get
some sort of warning message about a missing driver as the drive
initializes. Ignore it, your device should be able to read fine
without that. But, when you want
to write, then <tt>modprobe ide-scsi</tt> and your virtual SCSI host
will be established. After that the normal instructions for cdrecord
and all its brethren will work.

<p>
First, let me comment that I think TAG is exceptional. I stumbled upon it
by accident, and ended up reading every question and answer, and after this
email, will be going to look for previous months.
Anyhow, in reference to one of the questions asked about a firewall
(Firewall for a SOHO From Tom Bynum), you suggested a 3 legged Linux box to
do his routing / Firewalling. There is a free router / firewall called
FreeSCo (stands for FREE ciSCO) (http://www.freesco.org) that is essentially
a firewall on a floppy, with support for a DMZ. I uses (I believe) masq and
IPChains. Runs a mimumum of services, etc. You most likely already knew
about it, but I thought I'd pass this along (since the guy lives by your mom
and all).
</p>
<p>Have a good 'un.</p>
