Thanks to the good advice I got from this roundtable I've got cdparanoi and cdrecord working just fine. Originally, cdrcord -scanbus showed nothing, but after I followed your instructions, all worked out OK. I got a couple of CDs ripped and burned and they play just fine. cdparanoia -v -s -B cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,1,0 -audio -pad track*.cdc.wav But a question or two about fstab Right now I've got: For my normal Creative cdrom /dev/sd0 /mnt/cdrom1 auto defaults,ro,noauto,usr,exec 0 0 For the OptoRite burner /dev/sd1 /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 The last one was created by Red Hat. What's kudzu ? I've read the man mount but there's no kudzu there. What does it do?
