I know this. I had a README file but it seems to miss my sources.
At least for a new distribution, should default to an entry in /etc/fstab.
Even for an experienced Linux user who upgraded the kernel, it
took more than an hour to find how to again get shared memory....

Definitely not! libscg is not targeted to cdroms. It is a library
for general use. As long as mkisofs takes too much time, I will
only have limited time for cdrecord. As I am planning to add
CD-Text and RAW writing to cdrecord, libscg will be the last to get
changed....
BTW: libc.so.6 is still not usable for applications that ship
in binary form: RedHat and SuSE use binary incompatible libraries
both called libc.so.6
There is a high demand to force ReaHat and SuSE to talk together
and fix this. As libc.so.6 is burned out for this reason, there
should be a libc.so.7 that may be used again for binary distributions.
