Hi

What's the state of CD burning in FC2? Do the burners still require root
password?

I've just had an ugly experience in FC1. 
I use gtoaster, which usually works (from time to time it forgets the
devices). Now it showed the CD-RW with an X icon, meaning it can't write
on it (?). I've removed ide-cd and ide-scsi modules, modprobe'd ide-scsi
again and still won't work.

Tried xcdroast, I got lost in the plethora of options. I also had to
specify a directory for images, wouldn't let me go on with some default
(/tmp??)

With Nautilus I couldn't tell how to burn a CD image (not files).

I've also tried KRec (in the same menu with CD-Writer, System Tools ->
More System Tools), but saw it's recording audio, not CDs. Should have
been in Sound & Video.

Finally I went to the terminal and used cdrecord command line. 
Nice.
