quad-64 CD/DVD

[Tyler Aviss]

Accidentally hit submit before finishing. The CD-ROM filesystem
modules may include:
iso9660
udf

With iso9660, your kernel may need to have the MS "Joliet" extensions
and/or "transparent decompression" selected /w the module. I'd assume
that most generic comes-with-the-OS kernels include these, but I don't
really use CentOS very often.

Depending on the situation, you might also want the "pktcddvd" module
if you're writing disks.
