[CALUG] trouble mounting usb cdrw

[Russ]

Calug list/Bernie,


Thanks Bernie,  

Does support exist for IDE CDRW drives(i.e., should I just install an
internal cdrw and be done with it)?  This particular machine(PII 166MHZ
64M RAM) was my first attempt at using/installing Linux. I would like to
copy a couple gigs of files off of this system, and install Linux and the
couple gigs of files on a newer system.  

thanks
Russ
