Just an observation. Until just now, I'd been intimidated by the, um, opaque (IMHO)
man page of cdrecord. I'd fumbled around with Xcdroast and the burner
software on my Windows partition to burn iso images. (I'd gotten
ide-scsi emulation working sometime ago on the linux box).
Well, today, as root, I executed the following "exotic" command at my
bash prompt:
cdrecord -vv dev=1,0 valhalla-docs.iso
^^
(I like lots of output)
Sure enough, cdrecord went without a hitch. On my somewhat older CD-RW,
(4x,2x,24x), the write time for the docs iso, about 55.5 megs, was 91
seconds. I assure you this way outperforms the Windows GUI tool.
So, the point is that cdrecord is a lot easier to use than I'd
thought...arguably easier than a gui interface ... at least for iso
images. Good work, and thanks, to Jorge Schilling :)
