I have preformed some tests and guess what cdrkit works! Imagine that.
It burnt the iso's for Slackware distribution, and using md5sum to sum
both a Slackware distribution disk burned by both cdrkit and cdrtools

There is a 99,99999999999999999999999999999999999% chance that you did never
used cdrtools.

Please show me the evidence to support your position.
Please what evidence do you have that I have never used cdrtools?
As a user of Linux since 1995 your assertions are ridicules. Just being
a user from 1995 proves your claim to be false.
Yes that is before cdrkit was ever released.
I have been a early beta tester for Turbolinux, would you like a copy of
my beta/prerelease TurboLinux CDs from that period?
I also have RedHat Linux official versions from 5.0 to 9.0 and non
official release 4.2 which I ran oracle on, the oracle db required Red
Hat 4.2 at that time, again you look it up.
Please do this, download Slackware 12 or 13 _LOOK_ at what it being
distributed.
You _WILL_ find that it is cdrtools.
One _HAS_ to remove it by choice as I did and build and install cdrkit.
Would you like my build script for cdrkit?
Here is the script I used to test cdrtools and cdrkit

You have confirmed my position.....
You just want to argue your point.
You can continue to claim the above, But you now have _ZERO_ credibility
with me.
