ok, this may NOT be a problem with just writing.
I put a cd in expecting to play it.
RythmBox came up, and said there were 8 tracks on the CD.
BUT when I tried to play one of them, it made lots of noise for a little while and then it just hung.
When I did a ls of /media/cdrom/ it showed nothing at all.
So I think this is more a driver problem than anything else.
I know that the hardware works, because:
1) I was able to install kubuntu from a CD
2) I fired up Winblows and it works just fine.

So where do we go from here?
