Kb3 gets around this by completely modifying your mount points in
/etc/fstab ... which also will cause 'disrupt my reader rom in other
duties' problems, often even worse. As does settin your CDrom up to
be scsi emulated.
GUI front ends for the programs of cdrecord and mkisofs try to
work on several differnet distro's. IMO, not very well on any. Even
if you get a GUI setup to work with your drives, changing from
supermount to supermount disabled will ruin the day again. Similar
situations will be encountered when trying to use the various GUI
burner apps to select files to be burned.
You'll be better off in the long run reading the CD-writing-howto,
and learning how to use your burner on the command line. You'll also
find out that it's simpler, quicker an easier than GUI's anyhow. EG,
to record an audio CD, all I hav'ta do is type 'bacd' in a terminal
as user. Much quicker, simpler, and bulletproof than any GUI.
alias bacd='cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,3,0 -pad -audio *.wav'
