I started off with Xcdroast, which is a slick GUI frontend for the only CDR software I know of for linux, cdwrite 2.0. I now just use dd and cdwrite at the command line and in scripts.....quicker and much more powerful. I can even do a straight IDE CD to CDR dupe.....very cool. >Is it dependable and straightforward to use?

If you are using a partition for the image I assume you can just format it ISO and mount it rw to do work..... BTW I'm using a Phillips CDD2000. It is a very good drive, except the face plate does not seal, thus is can get dust inside. It looks like REV B of the CDD2006 finally fixed this problem, and if they have I highly recommand the drive. I have yet to ever burn a bad CD.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave 'Kill a Cop' Cinege (aka Psychopath #3) --- Super Genius at Large "Shelter me from the powder in the finger......Cover me from the thought that pulled the trigger..."
