My fstab has this entry:

/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

It currently works for my CD ROM. Will this also magically work if I 
replace it by a CD burner?

What are the steps for getting a CD burner up and running?

Step 1: Replace the CD drive by the CD-R drive.
Step 2: Reboot computer.
Step 3: ?????

I assume that step 3 involves something with something called "k3b". Help?

Cheers,
Daniel.
