    Maaaaan.... I just went through the trouble of wiring up a SCSI CDR in an
    external case to use on my laptop. THEN I discover this K3B mess.

    (linux noob alert) Any other way to burn ISO images? cat file.iso >>
    /dev/sr0 or something like that as root work?

    Yes, one could do this but the thing is.. until recently everyone of
    us could burn CDs as a regular user. Something changed and now things
    are not right. The fact is .. my user account is in the groups disk,
    admin, staff, cdrecording and every other group besides root so I
    should have access to do burns. It's worked on my 8.2 install since I
    put my burner into the system almost 19 months ago. Having to burn as
    root or use sudo shouldn't be needed.
