cdrecord issue

Sun Dec 5 17:43:03 UTC 2004

Okay, now that it looks that it is writing CDs, I went to burn the first
iso image of fc3. Here is what I received using cdrecord:

cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 FC3-i386-disc1.iso
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.

It seems to burn small files with no problem, but when I use large
files, I get the same message.

I have tried searching through the archives, but I couldn't find issue
similar to mine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
