Hi. I am having a problem creating CD[s for installing Fedora FC3. I use the fedora download info page which points to instructions for cdrecord: cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=1,0,0 FC3-i386-disc1.iso Unfortunately,. I get: Driver flags : SWABAUDIO Drive buf size : 1359872 = 1328 KB FIFO size : 4194304 = 4096 KB Track 01: data 617 MB Total size: 708 MB (70:12.18) = 315914 sectors Lout start: 708 MB (70:14/14) = 315914 sectors Current Secsize: 2048 ATIP info from disk: Indicated writing power: 5 Is not unrestricted Is not erasable Disk sub type: Medium Type A, low Beta category (A-) (2) ATIP start of lead in: -11634 (97:26/66) ATIP start of lead out: 359846 (79:59/71) Disk type: Short strategy type (Phthalocyanine or similar) Manuf. index: 3 Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics Corporation Blocks total: 359846 Blocks current: 359846 Blocks remaining: 43932 Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 48 in write mode for single session. Note that although speed 4 was commanded, speed 48 was actually used to do the write. I think that this is a problem, since my CD-R blanks are only rated to 40x. I also tried speed=2. Same problem, and finished in the same amount of time that speed=4 gave. Is it possible that cdrecord reads the speed but does not accept it? This makes things hard, since the writing is unreliable and many of the CDROMS generated with cdrecord fail linux mediacheck. I am using version 1.10 of cdrecord. I searched google and deja, and many people quote the command string and the output, indicating that if speed=1, then the selected speed is 1. Is this a bad version problem, or is there really a bug.
