Responding to my own post here as I got a command line cdrecord to work. 2 things I just found searching the web. First was to turn off DMA. Turn off DMA first: hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 0 (off) using_dma = 0 (off) Second was to use the speed of 4 instead of 1 and it worked!!!!!! Some burners I guess will only work at the max speed. Now I don't mind using command line at all. In fact I like it. Boy it has been a long day wresting with this project. But I would like to know why xcdroast could possibly lock up my Debian machine so hard??? Actually I recall trying to mount the /dev/cdrw and it locked up that way as well so it is not xcdroast's fault. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
