Call this redundant (and soon - with Etch - outdated). The archive is full of posts on this topic, but none seems to wrap it up. Instead of you having to to sort it out, try this:
1. All this 'ATAPI' is logically correct, but not technically. Use 'ATA'. 2. 'cdrecord dev=ATA: -scanbus' is the way to go. 3. Then use the result of 2 above for your commands for cdrecord; as in cdrecord -v blank=fast dev=ATA:1,1,0 (whatever 2 came up with). 4. Delete the found device in xcdroast, add [ATA:1,1,0] manually in the setup, wait for it to recognize the drive. Save. Enjoy either of the two as user. Instead of sudo, root or set-uid: # ls -l /usr/bin/cdrecord* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 133 2005-01-10 00:55 /usr/bin/cdrecord -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 348556 2005-01-10 00:55 /usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 351404 2005-01-10 00:55 /usr/bin/cdrecord.shm # ls -l /dev/hdd brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 64 2004-04-30 08:27 /dev/hdd The only thing needed is that your user is member of group 'disk'. The latter shows why. Have fun, Uwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
