The following is what I've tried to use to get cdrecord to work... can you tell me what I'm missing please? I also have removed the scsi emulation from my kernel by compiling another one, and as I may have said before, don't have the hdd=ide-scsi in my lilo.conf any more. cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd speed=0 -dao -data /path/image-name Any help most welcome. -- Email services by FreedomBox.
