I can only find 2 versions of the software in the debian archives, the one in stable and the one in testing (I haven't looked in unstable). The older (stable) version can see one of the drives but not write to it. The newer (testing) version can't do either. > Not being a smart-ass; trying to understand the problem. > > If it did work, do you still have a copy of that software (when it > worked) around that you could test with? If not, do you remember what > version worked? The version that did work is evidently long since gone from my system, probably when I upgraded something-or-other to testing a long time ago. I have no recollection of what that was. >> $ sudo cdrecord dev=1,4,0 -dummy speed=52 edubuntu-6.10-install-i386.iso > > What does 1,4,0 equate to.

Either way, try switching to the other one. The other one is ATA/IDE, and I can't figure out how to get cdrecord to 'see' the ATA drives. >> Device seems to be: Philips CDD-2000. > > Holy crap, is that accurate?

Well, the SCSI drive might be that old actually, it's only a 4x drive. > If it's *not* accurate, try forcing the appropriate cdrecord driver. > I forget the details, but I'm sure the man page remembers. Perhaps. I haven't found the man page overly enlightening... -- Seeya, Paul -- Key fingerprint = 1660 FECC 5D21 D286 F853 E808 BB07 9239 53F1 28EE A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
