Just to follow up on this in case someone else has this same problem
with xcdroast:
I believe that when I updated my os to Fedora Core 3, the version of
xcdroast (or maybe one of the apps it is a front-end for) changed so
that you need to be root to run it. The bad part is that there is no
indication that this is the problem. Here is the output when I DON'T
run it as root:
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
deleted lines...
Linux sg driver version: 3.5.27
cdrecord: Warning: using inofficial libscg transport code version
(schily - Red Hat-scsi-linux-sg.c-1.83-RH '(a)(#)scsi-linux-sg.c
1.83 04/05/20 Copyright 1997 J. Schilling').
SCSI buffer size: 64512
deleted lines...
cdrecord: Drive does not support TAO recording.
Note: This version is an unofficial (modified) version with DVD support
Note: and therefore may have bugs that are not present in the original.
cdrecord: Illegal write mode for this drive.
When I run it as root, it seems to be (mostly) happy and writes a good
CD every time.
