Ok, that makes sense; problem is that both the programs I mentioned use
mkisofs in the background and neither one gave me the option of bypassing
the warning and burning the disk anyway.  I was able to make an audio cd
today by using the cd duplicate function of xcdroast (put a music cd into
the burner, copy to hard disk, then put blank cd into burner and make the
copy).  I had to chmod 4711 on a handful of programs in order to run as
$user (mkisofs included), but it did make a good copy.  I'm wondering how
that's different from just selecting files to create a data CD?  This is
what first made me think it was the program itself, but then I received the
same error with both programs.  Any other possibilities?  I am going to read
the man and info pages on mkisofs, but I think I need to know how it works
within the program itself since I'm not calling it from the command line;
does that make sense?

Thanks again, Mike
