I believe yes, it is still needed. What's not needed any more (with |
16 |
kernel 2.6) is the old scsi stuff (forgot what it was called) that was |
17 |
needed to do CD burning (but not CD-ROM reading, IIRC) under kernel 2.4. |
18 |
Under 2.4, ide-cd did CD reading, but not writing. It handles writing |
19 |
too, under 2.6, so the extra stuff that was formerly needed for writing |
20 |
isn't needed any longer. |

Here, I compiled it, along with everything else I use routinely, directly |
23 |
into the kernel. The only module stuff I have is stuff like printer and |
24 |
scanner drivers, and ext2 and msdos filesystems (I've standardized on |
25 |
reiserfs) that I seldom use, so don't want in locked memory, which is what |
26 |
the kernel is. I'd have USB compiled in too, but there was (is?) a |
27 |
bug where all it detects is the hub, if it's compiled in, and I was |
28 |
running into that, so I /have/ to compile it as a module and load it |
29 |
dynamically. |
