Debates like this go on for far too long on the list. I think you should accept that: 1. cdrecord needs to be suid root 2. joerg is the expert on cdrtools including cdrecord 3. If you do not wish to install cdrecord suid root, you can try cdrkit, but then you cannot expect joerg to help. Again, I should say that I have not used cdrkit so am not commenting on its quality. allan
