Re: What do do when neither cdrecord/burncd work for me anymore?

Hi Matt,
I lost my usb stick ages ago, so I dont have one. However. My theory is 
that cdrecord just plain sucks, that compatibility with dragonfly was 
broken. So, I tried cdrdao; while totally useless for me since I dont 
believe it can burn .iso images, at least it CAN blank the CD-RW disk im 
using. cdrdao and cdrecord both use SCSI emulation. Would maybe a ktrace 
be of any use to anyone?

With burncd, i believe its just broken :P Does FreeBSD6 have a new 
version or something to try?
