The 512-bytes-per-sector-jumper is intended for usage with Unices which can't handle 2048-bytes-per-sector discs or devices in some way (e.g. at boot time). Solaris needs a 512-bytes-per-sector disc if it should boot from cd. For usage with a PC you won't need 512-bytes-per-sector on cds at all. Even if you want to create a bootable cd you won't need it. Since cdrecord 1.6 - it was released today - is not capable of writing in disc at once mode you have to wait for future releases of cdrecord. If you find another way of creating dao cds *entirely* with linux, please leave me a note.
