Leaving out the option altogether used to be my choice. I burned a 
coaster with the ide-cd option to the kernel and switched to fedora core 
1 with the 2.4 kernel to burn the isos.

I saved the cdroaster output of the coaster for future bug reports for 
development.

Thanks for the tip. I will try without the options. I believe the last 
time that I removed all of the options to the kernel, the cdroms were 
not recognized and added to /etc/fstab. Therefore, I could not mount the 
cdburner or the dvd-rw.

BTW - Your version of Firefox works great.
