Rich, as explained in off-list emails, you need to set up perms correctly for the front ends s/w to be able to use and access cdrecord and growisofs as well as access the drives. 1. as started, you do NOT mount the optical drive to burn. It is not a mass storage device in this case. 2. you MUST use burner s/w since the optical drive needs to be put into burn mode - laser from "read" to "write" power etc. 3. If you log in as 'root' you can simply # growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso see manpage fro more options to fine tune. 4. wodim is a fork of cdrecord. Slackware provides cdrtools and dvdrw-tools for which the Debian fork is cdrkit. -Ed
