   No.  Cdr's are good for =703 mb.  If you're already usin 10.2,
CD's can't be reliably burned as anything but root due to kernel

Alright, then with 10.1  (this first part would also be the 
same for 10.2)

'cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus'   will show you the scsibus numbers,
EG, somethin like 0,0,0   (which should be better than usin /dev/hdb)
cd to the directory the isos are in and
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=ATA:0,0,0 -dao MandTab
  Now I've simplified that quite a bit, actually about bare 
minimum. You should be able to handle speed=4, use your numbers 
rather than the example 0,0,0   -dao is a must for .iso's  Specially 
needed so the md5sum of the burned CD will check.

   With the burned CD in the drive, 'md5sum /dev/hdb' should return 
(might take a minute or so) the same md5sum as the iso file has. 
With marginal CD drives, you may need to try it several times before 
it succeeds.

...show your user name as a member of the cdwriter group?
No problem burning other CDs both audio and data
am currently using Mdk 10.1
  Includin 700mb's ?  If you can burn 650's, but not 700 you 
really need a better burner.  Mandrake gave into the 650 crowd a few 
versions ago, but has since determined it's just not worth the 
inconvenience  to the vast majority with decent burners.  If you 
can't use 700's, get a new burner. Sometimes somone redoes the iso's 
to  650 an makes them available for FTP. I think the Mdk Club use 
to also do it.  But don't hold your breath ;)

I believe if you can run 'cdrecord dev=ATA:0,0,0 -atip' with a 
blank 700mb CDr in the drive, and it returns succesfully, info about 
cdrecord, your drive and the manufacturer of the blank Cdr... then 
you should be able to burn up to 703mb.  I don't really know tho, 
even my (1997) 8432 Plextor could burn the cheapest 700's

Your other option would be to d/l, IIRC, 'boot.iso' from a 
mirror, 'dd' it to a floppy and do an install from the iso's on your 
HDD.  You'll need somebody or a tutorial that's knows more about 
that than me. I haven't done it in ages, an some changes have been 
made in the process for 10.2.  You might be able to find out from 
the cooker ML archive or  http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/wiki  At a 
minimum you should read the 10.2 Release Notes.

 When/if you get 10.2 installed (an I'd recommend a fresh 
install saving your /home)  magicdev will no longer be there, 
supermount is used only for floppy's. gnome-volume-manager in 
conjunction with HAL and dbus is the entirely user space daemon for 
handling removable media, like CD drives. As such it can't access 
certain things reserved to root.  IE, as user:

cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler
cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using 
setpriority().
cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns.

The only work around is to burn as root, even with a GUI. 
You'll probly also need to run 'gnome-volume-properties' once as 
root and under the heading Removable Media, enable the first 3 (of 
the 4) options (if they aren't already).

No - the 700Mb is more then big enough to burn a 699.8 MB image. The 
700MB (80 minute) CDs hold 700Mb of data, plue the lead in and lead out 
data.

Now, how are you trying to burn the CD under k3b? If you are trying to 
burn an ISO omage that you have downloaded, you need to pick tools, CD, 
Burn CD image. Now, I have heard that you can also run into problems 
burning CDs with k3b as a user if you haven't gone through the 
configuration first - you have to set some parmissions and it will ask 
you for the root password to do it...

the iso file needs to be in the directory where you are for this to

(or you can go to where it is using the cd command).
