This change happened a while back. See what man cdrecord or man mkisofs tell you about the command. On fedora 8 [...@pinguino ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides `which mkisofs` genisoimage-1.1.6-6.fc8 [...@pinguino ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides `which cdrecord` wodim-1.1.6-6.fc8 [...@pinguino ~]$ cat /etc/issue Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) Kernel \r on an \m [...@pinguino ~]$ ls -l `which mkisofs` `which cdrecord` lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2008-04-01 07:48 /usr/bin/cdrecord -> /etc/alternatives/cdrecord lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2008-04-01 07:54 /usr/bin/mkisofs -> /etc/alternatives/mkisofs [r...@pinguino ~]# alternatives --display cdrecord cdrecord - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/bin/wodim /usr/bin/wodim - priority 50 slave cdrecord-cdrecordman: /usr/share/man/man1/wodim.1.gz slave cdrecord-dvdrecord: /usr/bin/wodim slave cdrecord-dvdrecordman: /usr/share/man/man1/wodim.1.gz slave cdrecord-readcd: /usr/bin/readom slave cdrecord-readcdman: /usr/share/man/man1/readom.1.gz Current `best' version is /usr/bin/wodim.

Fedora 8 has been around since Nov 2007. I think modern users should know about wodim and genisoimage.
