[CLUG] Help with a question..

[Adam Lock]

I have an USB Iomega Predator CDRW that I occasionally connect to my 
Mandrake 8 laptop. I haven't tried recording to it but it appears to 
function correctly as a CDROM drive.

After attaching it you must grep the system log to find the device name 
and and add an entry to /etc/fstab to mount it because Mandrake won't do 
that for you.

I would tell you what settings you need if weren't for the fact that 
MandrakeUpdate just made my machine unbootable after updating the kernel.
