Why cdrkit? Why wodim? Why genisoimage? Because: - it won't tell you that you have no /dev/pg* device file thing foo, that you have never seen and you will never need - it won't require to be executed as root, fail with obscure messages without such permissions - it won't force you to wait 3 seconds every time you want to start, no matter what you specify as gracetime= - it won't kill another burning process when you do -scanbus in another shell - it will let you specify your device directly in the way you know it, rather than forcing some weird TARGET,BUS,LUN syntax with weird numbers - it will not wreak random havoc if you used spaces and not tabs in the config file - genisoimage won't stop accepting the well known option -L in the near future - genisoimage will stop on 2.1GiB large files rather than just "forgetting" them and let you burn crap - users are respected and not used as pinballs between us and the OS kernel developers
