Hi group, I waded through the how-to-burn-knoppix-iso-700Mb-etc thread from a while back, but could not find anything solid to help me...
I burned a Knoppix iso on a 700Mb CD-RW on my HP CD-Writer 8100 running Debian Woody using cdrecord. No problems there... However, when I try to burn a CD-R, I get medium errors when fixating the drive, :-( I tried to burn at 2x speed instead of 4x since my drive can only burn CD-RWs at 2x, but that didn't help. The writing is fine, the fixating not. How is this possible? Already wasted three discs with my 'experiments'... BTW: I already used two different brands, however, the speed 2x test was with only one brand, I'm out of the other one. I ran cdrecord -v dev=1,0 speed=2 KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-06-06-EN.iso.
