Question about installing new hardware..

I'm going to replace my DVD rom and CDRW drive with a single DVD reader/CD burner combo drive..

Will I need to recompile the kernel for that or do I just alter my fstab and carry on?

Also.. how would I best set that up in Gentoo so I can read DVD's and Burn CD's in the same drive..?!?

*mind boggles*

As long as its compatible hardware (if its IDE it is) it will work by magic

Only thing you will need to do is alter the fstap as you said
