Hmmm... At least for me cdrerord seems not to be the reason for the long startup time. In my current configuration (CRD and DVD drive in SCSI emulation) 'cdrecord --scanbus' takes less then a second to find the devices. If I go back to the ide-scsi-CDR and ide-DVD config, in wich k3b takes two minutes to show up, 'cdrecord --scanbus' still needs less then a second to find the devices. If I try 'cdrecord --scanbus dev=ATAPI' it also takes appr. 5 seconds, which is remarkable longer, but don't explains the extreme long k3b startup time. Frank -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
