You can put a lot of this into /etc/defaults/cdrecord, to save (mis)
typing it every time.

There is a boot option to copy the contents of the live CD to a RAMdisk,
something like docache, which allows you to eject the CD after booting.

I do not like this dumb machine
I really ought to sell it.
It never does just what I want
But only what I tell it.
