Hi All, here is an example from the cdrecord website, cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=2,0 cdimage.raw assuming that the cdr is attached to the primary scsi bus of the target machine. I wouldn't have a faintest as to my set up, although, I do know it is a slave and the hardrrive is the master on the same connecter. How do i verify this, and then write data to a CD..? I know that there is a graphical way to do this, but heck, if I'm gonna be that lazy, it's back to M$ for this stool pigeon...lol..cheers. Mark Sargent.
