It wouldn't let me add this until I deleted the temp directory I already 
had in there; it said it couldn't have two Temporary storage 
directories on the same partition.  Pain.  I hope they remove this 
limitation at some point, or create some other system for creating 
CD-ROMs from ISOs.

Create CD hangs with an hourglass unless you put a working CD-ROM in the 
default read device <frown>.  They need to fix this as well.  There's 
no reason to have a working CD-ROM in the default read device, since 
you're not going to read it.

It took me a moment to realize I had to click on "Layout tracks" as well

Thanks for finally teaching me how to make a CDROM from xcdroast
