hdparm -tT /dev/device too bad it didn't support benchmarking a floppy disk when i tried ;o) > > If you are absolutely in love with this method, try lower speeds and > > always make sure the original CD is in good condition. > > Yeah. I'll probably try a make an iso with mkisofs first in future. Is that > the proper way of doing it? well, i don't think there is one 'proper way', but that would be one solution... you could also dd to a file on your hd first, like: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/username/cdimage.iso and then cdrecord -v speed=16 -dev=0,2,0 /home/username/cdimage.iso HTH Damian
