Having read of a few people having cdrecord problems, it was time for me to burn one and see for myself: cdrecord -v dev=4,0 speed=8 -eject msccdrom.iso no problem. took just under 10 minutes. this is a plextor 8X burner on an adaptec 2930U2 (AIC 7850) narrow fast scsi controller. no problem with mandrake 7.1, or redhat 6.2 either. I'll do one on rh7 next time. so it does work just fine, and I will continue to be wary about ide cd burners with linux. tom berkley Roger Sherman wrote: > > I've tried several of the CD burning programs that came with 7.2, with no > success.
