Mt. Rainier Support in Linux -- 9:16 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Philips invented the Mt. Rainier specification to allow you to use CD-RWs or DVD+RWs as a big floppy. Linux is the first operating system to provide full Mt. Rainier support at the OS-level. I wrote up a HOWTO showing you how you can get Mt. Rainier support enabled. This HOWTO was looked over by Jens Axboe, the fine gentleman who got Mt. Rainier support in the kernel.

UPDATE 7:00 P.M. I made some minor additions and corrections to the article just now. If you read it earlier, please check it out again.
