The only other thing that occurs to me is that you may perhaps have a config file that carries some defaults you do not want to be using. That was the case for me with Debian. Look for a cdrecord.conf in your /etc tree somewhere and check out the settings. I had to change a "device = " setting in it, and when I gave it "device=/dev/hdd" I no longer had to put that on the command line. -- The Moon is Waxing Crescent (9% of Full) But you can still get downloads from http://www.mhcable.com/~chuckh
