Hi All, yes, after much sleep, I did realize that I was in fact, on FC2, attempting as non-root. Root was the key...It clearly states that the user must be root, on cdrecord's site/faq. Cheers.

It hangs even when I do a su - root. I did get an answer from a Red Hat guy that they had made security changes that caused problems for non root users but that was FC2. FC3 hung when I tried to copy a CD as non root, but as root no trouble.
