Thanks everyone who advised on cd writing. That solved the X server problem from root, so that I was able to setup and use xcdroast for copying and creating CDs.
Now regarding the associated module management, I have the following situation: 1. After booting up I can use xcdroast after I load the module ide-scsi with modprobe. Everything else needed gets loaded automatically. Then, if I want to mount and read a cdrom I can do it, but only aftet unloading ide-scsi. 2. The other way around, if I mount a cdrom before using xcdroast, then I can not use xcdroast, even after unloading modules associated with cdrom such as ide-cd. What is the best way to be able to use both cdrom to read a cd and xcdroast for cd writing? Thanks for any suggestions.
