Scott, what's biting on you with cdrecord? I managed to get that going awhile ago so might be able to help. Thing is some people who reorganized my apartment threw away all of my brailled linux notes. I found information on the web that helped me get an off-brand drive writing. Searching on cdrecord howto and reading the link that has guitarlin as part of its name sho8uld help quickly if your drive will work at all. It's about two pages of notes at the most. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
