Thanks for your help.
Turns out xcdroast is burning CD-R fine, & also the "CD Creator" option of nautilus.
But, the problem is it wont blank a CD-RW, which was what I first tried to do, so was led astray.
I've tried to blank CD-RW (a number of disks - none knew) but no joy.
Here's the out put of my attempts from cdrecord, any help or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.
Regards,
M.

scsi emulation went bye-bye with the 2.6 kernels........not needed.

Hi List,
CD burning has never worked for me with fc2. I suspect something is set up wrong with scsi emulation, but haven't been able to figure it out.
Symptoms: +fc2's "CD Creator"- -I only get a "file image" destination to write to
+So, I installed X-CD-Roast to see if I got better mileage-
-It shows two drives in 'setup':
--one with a 'reader icon' - device id=[1,0,0], vendor=QSI, Model=DVD/CDRW SBW-081, Rev.=NXC5;
--one with a 'writer icon' - device id=[ATAPI:0,0,0], vendor=QSI, Model=DVD/CDRW SBW-081, Rev.=NXC5
+If I use the writer I get a warning about using an ATAPI drive (and some directions to a faq I've not found - see below). If I double click on either drive, I get warnings about fatal problems.
+If I add a drive manual at /def/hdc, the device isn't found...
From what I can tell I need to set up SCSI emulation (correctly, but may be not with 2.6 kernel?). I've not found much concise info on this. Something said to enter the drive manualy (as /dev/hdc); another thing said to add 'hdc=scsi-ide' to grub.conf; and something else said to add something to modprobe.conf. I've tried the xcdroast faq with little info, and the cdrecord website doesn't look very helpful ('nuff said), and a search of redhat's site doesn't throw up much.
Can any one help, or point me in a direction where I might find some help? Happy to file a bug, but not sure it is?

With xcdroast I also get this message that SCSI emulation should be
used. I have followed the directions and could not make it work. I
just leave it as an ATAPI drive and the writing of CD's work without
problem. Use Create CD -> master tracks . After you chose the files
you want to write then choose the files to write, then use create
session image and write on the fly.
