Yeah my experience with the XCDroast package is it will try to calculate
the size of the image to be created and go to the disk and the hard drive
will start up and never return! I've watched the process with the KDE
process management tool, and it will consume all the CPU resources at least
I have been able to use my CDrw as a CDrom under Mdk 7.0-2, but have not been
able to get it to write. It would, however, blank rewritable CD's! For various
reasons, I have been unable to devote much time to solving this, and none of
the suggestions this group gave me (some time ago) helped, so
I forgot to mention that kudzu comes up on boot and says that the cd writer has
been removed from the system. I choose "do nothing".

as root, "chmod +s /usr/bin/cdrecord" (or wherever cdrecord
is on your machine.) I had no problems with my SCSI cd
recorder being used as a CDROM *and* CDR/W in Mandrake
I seem to recall reading that the CDRECORD/XCDROAST package
that comes with Mandrake 7 is broken, that you need to
upgrade to the latest, preferably the tarball from the
author.

No, it's the Mandrake 7 version of mkisofs that's broken, though it took
us some time (and lots of messages in this list) to figure that out . .

The cooker one is fixed; there's a test program on my website to see if
it's causing you trouble.
NOTE that it only corrupts some files, so you
Works fine for me - my CD-RW works as both a writer and as a CDROM. Mandrake
