Ideally, you want it on a different channel from the main hard drive. If you have two channels it would be a good idea to move it to the secondary. i.e. /dev/hdc

I use icewm. That will run cdrecord fine. It does here. > I have run the commands from the howto, section 2 Quickstart.

Any suggestions please? The cdrecord home page is at:- http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/research/cc/berlios/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html While that particular page looks confusing there are many useful links off it. Not all ( older ) cdwriters are supported by cdrecord. Is yours on the list? http://www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/research/cc/berlios/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdwriters-2.0.html -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell NB. This PC runs Linux.
