Hi, Had to burn a CD today - thought I would try it out without doing scsi emulation. My kernel version is 2.6.0-test3mm2 I turned off scsi emulation by hdd=ide-scsi from the lilo.conf file, did a lilo -v, and then rebooted.
When the system was up again, I gave the command cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd driveropts=burnfree fs=32m -data foo.iso This version of cdrecord determines the optimal speed of the CD automatically - and before, I had used CDs from the same set that I used now, and had got average speeds of around 12-14x. However, this time, the average speed was approx 23x - quite an improvement. I was using the version of cdrecord that ships with Redhat 9.0 -cheers- sdg WARNING: Don't try this at home unless you have linux 2.5.45 or above. Also, remember to do a cdrecord dev=/dev/hdx -checkdrive before doing anything else. -- ********************************************* * The Ankur Project * Bringing Bangla to Free/Open Source Software * http://www.bengalinux.org/ * ********************************************* -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
