Command line cdrecord does NOT work, isos or not: I've tried them both. I've also tried all sorts of speed, both low and high: nothing. I've tried burning CDR's and also CDRW's. Since SuSE 7.3, all of that -including burner- has worked flawlessly. With SuSE 9.2 and Mandrake 10.1, it seems I've hit a wall. -- Pablo Ort�zar
