Again we are having some confusion. I have not problem writing the
CD's with xcdroast or with Nero in Windows. In both cases, I can
control the writing speed.
Part of my question is whether changing the parameters in
cdrecord.conf would help with the Nautilus approach?
I just navigated to an iso image and it gave a screen where you could
select the write speed through a pull down menu. It is in
nautilus-cd-burner-2.6.0-3 that is available in rawhide (development).
Is there a similar pulldown selection box in FC2?
