   Well, I'll havt'a try KisoCD.  I really like KOnCD, but it and a few

Re: [expert] CDRW Drive Addition

2001-06-11 Thread Nick Thompson

cdrecord checks access permissions against the users login before giving
access to files, not relying solely on the OS to do this. It is therefore
okay to make it SUID root. Once you do that you don't need root access to
burn CDs.

The GUIs do work of course, but it maybe true that some are better than
others. I use kisocd (kisocdII for kde2). It doesn't look so cool or slick,
but it does the job okay. Its best feature is that it supports mkisofs
features that allow you to pick files/dirs to write and allows you to
pre-organize them into a new dir structure that will be written to CD. Most
GUIs will only let you write a pre-existing dir structure. This feature
works really well when selecting a bunch of carefully chosen dirs for
backup. Other GUIs really NEED this feature.

After kisocd, koncd looks like a reasonable bet.

Goto http://apps.kde.com/ and do a search for CD to find others a reviews.

cdrecord is in Mandrake 8.0 and is very easy to use from the command
line (always use -v).   You must be root.

Run cdrecord -scanbus to verify your scsi emulation is working.  
This will aslo give you the parameters you will need for the dev
parameter of cdrecord.

Read:

man cdrecord

man mkisofs

PS.  My experience is than NONE of the GUI base cdwriting packages

Suppose the CDRW is /dev/hdb
then, edit lilo.conf and under "image=/boot/vmlinuz" you must add the option 
append=" hdb=ide-scsi"
Then run lilo and reboot.
For more info about editing lilo.conf type "man lilo.conf".

Have you tried using cdrecord 1.8?  Version 1.6 doesn't do DAO, but
1.8 does.

I just put in a plextor 8220Te ( 8x CD-r, 2x CD-RW, 20x CD-ROM ) external
SCSI ( I assume the internal works just as well ).

Using cd-record and my own scripts it's taken over for 3 other 2x burners
and a few 1x I was using for several years.  As it can burn more disks in
the same time then all of them combined :)

Buffer hasn't been below 56% and that was when I was also transfering files
in/out across nfs and samba while it burned a premade CD image file.

Hmmthe hard drive (as long as your system can see it) shouldn't
be a problem. I'd suggest, if you're planning on making that your
boot drive, that you put a /boot directory at the head of the drive.
Other than that, nothing much to do... Linux should see it just fine!
:-)
LS-120 is an IDE device, so you'll have to treat it much the same way
you do an IDE cdrom. Just define it as a /dev/hdx drive (iirc, no
partition #) and you should be fine! :-)
