Hopefully, with this "new" machine, I'll be able to keep up with things. 
My last experience with using the CD-Writer+ was on my old 200 MHz 
Pentium with RH 7.0 installed. When I finally got the CD recorder to 
work, I broke sound, and sound is the main thing I do with that machine! 
Sigh.

I'll be looking into this later today or tomorrow and hope that it 
really will "just work" once I've found all the parts!

Thanks to you both for the input.
