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)

The software you need to burn CDs and DVDs is already included on your box under Applications>Sound and Video>Brasero.

-== Hardware installation ==
-*Make sure the regular cdrom is set to secondary master
+The software you need to burn CDs and DVDs is already included on your box under Applications>Sound and Video>Brasero.
-*Install the burner device as slave on second IDE interface (hdd)
-**The sound card should remain plugged into the regular cdrom
-note:  You can just swap out the cdrom and install the cd burner, but in that case the burner should be set to master and the device is /dev/hdc.
-== scsi emulation ==
-*open terminal and su to root
-*add "ide-scsi" to "/etc/modules"
-*add "hdd=ide-scsi" to vmlinuz line in grub
-== setting up automount ==
-*login as guest
-*copy and paste the cdrom icon, renaming it 'cdrw'.
-*edit the properties of the icon to have the URL point to 'file:///media/cdrw'.
-*open a terminal, 'su' to root,
-*edit the /etc/auto.removable file (the part you are interested in is down towards the bottom,
-**you'll want to first remove the letters 'cd|' from the cdrom entry,
-**then you'll want to copy all the lines that constitute that case entry (from 'cdrom)' to ';;'), and paste it in underneath.
-**then you'll edit the new entry to say 'cdrw)' instead of 'cdrom)', and to say '/dev/hdd' instead of '/dev/cdrom'.
-*execute '/etc/init.d/autofs restart'.
-*double check to make sure the icon works on a data cd.
-the previous instructions would be equally applicable for any second cd device.
