DVD+RW packetwriting in linux

I have installed Fedora Core 3 (64bit) on my Emachines M6811. It can read the CD-RWs and DVD+RWs that have file systems created with Roxio Drag-to-Disc, but I cannot write to them. I think there may be some additional files or packages needed that are not included in the basic Fedora distribution to get the mount right. Can anyone help me with this?

Don't know how FC3 handles kernel stuff, but the UDF packet-writing filesystem is a kernel module. If you can get the kernel sources, cd /usr/src/linux, make menuconfig, look for "UDF packet writing" or something like that in the filesystems category.

also you may need to update the cdrtools, I think that's the name of it. Since it's an ATAPI drive it is sorta supported natively without scsi emulation. YMMV. Currently on my Gentoo box I'm trying to get the native atapi stuff working, no love so far but I'm not trying real hard either. I have moreimportant things to get working. My employer uses a .net only tracking system so my focus is on Wine right now.

Thank you for the suggestions, I have used up2date a couple of times and when I popped in a DVD+RW today I had previously used in Windows with Roxio it was read and written in Fedora without problems ... don't know why but it works
