1. I'm using xcdroast that came with RH 8.0. My
CD-RW (/dev/scd0) shows up in the "Device-Scan" panel,
but my DVD-ROM (/dev/hdd) does not. Does the DVD-ROM
need to be set up as a SCSI device? If so, can (and
should) I set it up that way? I want to be able to do
direct CD to CD copy.
2. Also, I noticed that the xcdroast settings for the
CD-RW drive say 1x for both read and write speed. My
drive says 16x/12x/40x on the front. I think that
means 16x write, 12x re-write, and 40x read. Does
this mean that I can safely set the read and write
speed to 40x and 16x, respectively?
3. If I do manage to make the DVD-ROM available to
xcdroast, should I make sure that it's read speed is
always set greater than the CD-RW drive write speed?
4. When I insert a CD it automounts as iso9660. For
a UDF CD this isn't very useful. I'm able to mount
UDF filesystem CD's by using the command "mount -t udf
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1" (/dev/cdrom1 is a symlink to
/dev/scd0), but only as root. Can I set up the CD
drive to allow non-root to mount a non-iso CD? My
fstab has the following line:
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro, 0 0
5. Ultimately, I'd like to be able to drag and drop
files onto a CD-RW like I can under Windows running
Roxio's DirectCD software (that handles UDF CDs). I
know I can read UDF CDs in Linux, but has anyone heard
of being able to add and delete files from a CD-RW
under Linux? Any instructions on setting this up?
Thanks,
Arif
