CDR and RedCrap 8

[Garrett E]

For the record, I've never had a problem making a CDR work on Microsoft
units or Linux units. I'm curious, does your CD-RW drive (That's what
Mitsumi had to say about it) work in Windows? Microshaft might not be the
name they deserve in that case.

How can you expect anyone to respond favorably to your question when you
continually bash the vendor? If you don't want an OS that rescans your
hardware on boot, thus creating whatever symlinks it deems necessary, then
select a distribution that does what it's told, like Debian or Gentoo, or
one of the lovely BSD variants such as OpenBSD, NetBSD, or FreeBSD. Or
better yet, dig around in the RedHAT init scripts, figure out what's making
those symlinks, and turn it off if it disrupts your day so much.
