    Hi. I am having a problem creating CD[s for
    installing Fedora FC3. I use the fedora download info
    page which points to instructions for cdrecord:

    cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=1,0,0
    FC3-i386-disc1.iso

    Unfortunately,. I get:

    Driver flags : SWABAUDIO
    Drive buf size : 1359872 = 1328 KB
    FIFO size : 4194304 = 4096 KB
    Track 01: data 617 MB
    Total size: 708 MB (70:12.18) = 315914 sectors
    Lout start: 708 MB (70:14/14) = 315914 sectors
    Current Secsize: 2048
    ATIP info from disk:
      Indicated writing power: 5
      Is not unrestricted
      Is not erasable
      Disk sub type: Medium Type A, low Beta category (A-)
    (2)
      ATIP start of lead in: -11634 (97:26/66)
      ATIP start of lead out: 359846 (79:59/71)
    Disk type: Short strategy type (Phthalocyanine or
    similar)
    Manuf. index: 3
    Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics Corporation
    Blocks total: 359846 Blocks current: 359846 Blocks
    remaining: 43932
    Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 48 in write mode for
    single session.

    Note that although speed 4 was commanded, speed 48 was
    actually used to do the write. I think that this is a
    problem, since my CD-R blanks are only rated to 40x.
    I also tried speed=2. Same problem, and finished in
    the same amount of time that speed=4 gave. Is it
    possible that cdrecord reads the speed but does not
    accept it? This makes things hard, since the writing
    is unreliable and many of the CDROMS generated with
    cdrecord fail linux mediacheck.

    I am using version 1.10 of cdrecord. I searched
    google and deja, and many people quote the command
    string and the output, indicating that if speed=1,
    then the selected speed is 1.

    Is this a bad version problem, or is there really a
    bug.

    Thanks
