	Installing a Burner in Ubuntu 8.04 is basically a physical process. Most of the Freek Boxes we give out have a burner installed already. Those that do not will have a DVD player instead. Just make sure that if you are installing the burner as a second optical drive, that it is jumpered to Slave, or that both optical drives are jumpered for Cable Select. If you are replacing the current optical drive, jumper the new drive to Master (or Cable Select)		Installing a Burner in Ubuntu 8.04 is basically a physical process.
