Thanks for the reply. Glad to see it is working for someone else. I
didn't think using -data is necessary as according to the cdrecord man
page it is the default. Oh well, I will try slowing it down. I usually
brose the web while burning as I have a scsi cd-r and anything short of
heavy i/o doesn't make this guy so much a stutter or at least that is my
experience when burning x86 cds. I will try your command line with my
dev stuff and see what happens.
Thanks,
Bill
