Add other options (burnfree) if needed. Just for comparison: If you want to burn a music CD: # cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=12 -v -eject -dao -audio <track> You can see the obvious difference -data vs. -audio, but also -tao (track at once) vs -dao (disk at once). > cdrecord: The current problem looks like a buffer underrun. Is your drive faster than your disk which "hands in" the data? Try to reduce the writing speed. > cdrecord: It looks like 'driveropts=burnfree' does not work for this drive. A clear message. You can use the -prcap option to find out what your recorder will support; see "man cdrecord" for details. > So, um, WTF? To whom am supposed to "report" this failure? To your superior. :-) > And more to the point, how can I burn a simple damn CD now? Try the command mentioned above. I've left burncd somewhere in FreeBSD 5 and I'm now using cdrecord exclusively. When run as a !root user, make sure permissions to access the recorder are set properly. Maybe add an alias for your dialog shell. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
