Hi Curtis & Co : I downloaded the latest cdrecord form Mr. Schilling I had a very interesting read ... obviously the guy doesn't really like Linux... (Not structured ... incompatible with itself ... etc.) But he knows his stuff and it is VERY well documented!
I didn't install the latest cdrecord but by reading the doc I figured out that I should use -dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 So bigrock is burning away now!
