The safe cmdline way for burning discs has been "cdrecord" for many years. It may be that "dd" could write to special preformatted discs and possibly with hardware and media that would work together by default. I don't think it has ever been a fully supported method. Look what this guy found out in Nov 2015. http://www.stevepedwards.com/DebianAdmin/2555-2/ Somewhere at the bottom find an example of writing to /dev/sr0 with "dd" after taking several hurdles. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
