[Nolug] CD setup

    Why does everything on Linux have to be so hard the first time? (I guess
to give people like Joey a job!)
1. I've been trying to set up a server to host a web site or two. Thanks to
you guys I made arrangements with Directv, which should be connected in a
few weeks. When it's connected, do I use one phone connection to the router,
then run CAT5 cable throughout the house to all the computers?

2. I also need to burn CDs. I finally got the burning process to work under
RH7.2, using for input a Compaq SCSI drive and for output a SAF CD-R2004
SCSI burner. I even got the PCMCIA interface working so I can read in files
from the hard drive of a digital camera. I was about ready to put the covers
on the box and decided to play a music CD for relaxation. Only then did I
realize that even though the input drive will read a music CD and the output
drive will copy it correctly, neither of them will actually play one. Both
drives report they can't read because of a bad file type in /etc/fstab.
(They are set for iso9660.) Arrrgggh! Now what? How do I configure the
regular old built-in CD player to play music?

Thanks,
