Is it possible to get linux to see/use an external USB CD-RW drive? I want to burn a few iso's, but I'm not going to download them if I can't burn them.
 
USB support in linux isn't very good, I'd say try it and see if it works if not the answer is probably NO. John D. Saucier

Hi,







You can probably get this working but I can't give the exact step by step stages. You would certainly need to do :







# /sbin/modprobe usb_uhci



# /sbin/modprobe usb_storage







and/or put something in your /etc/modules.conf to cause the modules to load on demand.
I think (?) it emulates scsi so you'd <maybe> need in there :

block-major-8 usb_storage

that would equate to /dev/sda




See -->






and -->






Hope this helps
