Hi All,

yes, after much sleep, I did realize that I was in fact, on FC2, attempting
as non-root. Root was the key...It clearly states that the user must be
root, on cdrecord's site/faq. Cheers.

I log out then back in as root and use K3B and have no trouble.  It
hangs even when I do a su - root.  I did get an answer from a Red Hat
guy that they had made security changes that caused problems for non
root users but that was FC2.  FC3 hung when I tried to copy a CD as non
root, but as root no trouble.
