Here's the cdrecord command I use, just for reference: cdrecord -v -eject -dao -speed=4 -dev=ATAPI:/dev/hde FC2-filename Note that your specifics would vary. The only param above I consider critical is the device specification and -dao, "disk at once." The -v is useful because it prints good data on screen. Kill Speakup during the burn. Do not look at the screen very much, either, while the burn progresses. And, if you really do have flaky hardware, don't be running any other tasks during the burn.
