This is the Linux CD-ROM HOWTO. It is intended as a quick reference covering everything you need to know to install and configure CD-ROM hardware under Linux. Frequently asked questions related to CD-ROM are answered, and references are given to other sources of information related to CD-ROM applications and technology.
Much of this information came from the documentation and source files provided with the Linux kernel, the Internet .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. alt.cdrom newsgroup FAQ, and input from Linux users.
Thanks to the DocBook tools, this HOWTO is available in several formats, all generated from a common source file. .:: kenhrao.com ::.
New versions of this document will be periodically posted to the comp.os.linux.answers newsgroup. Hypertext versions of this and other Linux HOWTOs are available on many world-wide web sites, including .:: telegra.ph ::. http://www.linuxdoc.org. Most Linux CD-ROM distributions include the HOWTOs, often under the /usr/doc directory, and you can also buy printed copies from several vendors. Sometimes the HOWTOs available from CD-ROM vendors, ftp sites, and printed format are out of date. If the date on this HOWTO is more than six months in the past, then a newer copy is probably available on the Internet. .:: telegra.ph ::.
