I was able to make it work following the instruction of the program xcdroast, however, some things seem strange. I always get error messages telling not to use atapi instead scsi. I had a CD with picture files on. When I copied them to the HD I can't open them and copying back to the CD I can't open them as well any longer. In fact I can not mount the CD anymore. Only xcdroast can. $ mount /mnt/cdrom mount: Not a directory Trying too boot Knoppix 3.4 from the CD I get only a blank screen. Booting from CD and then switching to HD, Knoppix works alright. It seems that xcdroast can only write .wav and .iso files????? Questions: Is there a better CD-RW-Drive for Linux than Asus? The shop is willing to exxchange. Are there better programs than xcdroast to R+W and which?
