If anyone wants to use the original, it can be obtained from : http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdrecord.html ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ I am running slightly older version a59 current version is a61 :) [root@blackP4 ~]# /opt/schily/bin/cdrecord --version Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 2.01.01a59 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2009 J�rg Schilling IMHO it is wise to keep the two living side by side(if you decide to install the original). This way you get to use the one you need for a certain task. i.e, if one gets rid of cdrkit, we cannot use livecd tools/creator because it is a dependency. k3b does find the cdrecord(original) and promotes it to default if installed. So no problems there.
