Thanks, Paul.

AFAIK that cdrecord command needs ide-scsi to be running. Without
ide-scsi you can use the ATAPI interfact directly with:

cdrecord dev=ATA:1,0,0...

Using -scanbus to find the target. On more recent cdrecord versions I've
seen the device name being used, so my burner is secondary master:

cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc...

Eliminating the need for scanbus, or remembering the bus, target etc. I
don't think -data and -pad are necessary for ISOs - never needed them
myself. What benefit does padding have? Generally I go with:

cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=ATA:1,0,0 distro.iso

Does anyone know how to verify a burn? I've been using K3B with the
verify option, but it'd ne nice to know how to do this from a terminal.
