i cant comment on your method, i generally use cdrecord natively as root, as it seems to behave differently as root and as setuid. check out the /etc/default/cdrecord file. $ grep -v ^# /etc/default/cdrecord CDR_DEVICE=/dev/hdd CDR_SPEED=48 CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m teac= 1,3,0 -1 -1 "" panasonic= 1,4,0 -1 -1 "" plextor= 1,4,0 -1 -1 "" sanyo= 1,4,0 -1 -1 burnfree yamaha= 1,5,0 -1 -1 "" cdrom= 0,6,0 2 1m "" then # cdrecord some.iso works well. -matt zagrabelny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
