You need to be using sid for this, not woody, with kernel 2.4.21 IIRC. > > cdrecord -v ATAPI:0,0,0 blank=fast cdrom.iso > > > > ...burns the .iso. > > > > Once again, apologies in advance for irrelevance. > > No, not irrelevant, I'm sure I'd heard somewhere that newer versions of > (some) cd-writers had been developed to use IDE/ATAPI directly rather than > only SCSI. CD writers have been mostly IDE-ATAPI rather than SCSI for years... ATAPI basically involves sending SCSI-style commands over an IDE bus. Hence the need for the scsi emulation layer in the kernel. I think what you're thinking of is that the very latest kernels have a driver specifically for talking to ATAPI CD-RWs, that "does everything in one go" and so doesn't need the rest of the SCSI modules there to support it; and the very latest cdrecord knows about this. To get these very-latest versions in Debian you need to be using sid and kernel 2.4.21. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
