Here's how I burn CD's with Debian 2.1 on an HP 6020: cat index | xargs cdrecord -v speed=2 -audio dev=4,0 The dev line is "dev=<scsi_id, lun>", I believe. You can "look" for your drive with: cdrecord dev=4,0 -checkdrive Don't let the "-audio" throw you - it works the same for data. I don't know if there's a way to use the "sg" devices or not with the current cdrecord - I've always done it this way.
