FC2 installation question

[Jude DaShiell]

I use: cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=2 -data Fc2-i386-disc1.iso <cr> to burn 
the cd's and this is the same command I used to burn cd_image when I made 
it using mkisofs and cd_image had the directory structure in it as well as 
the text files in those subdirectories.  I got that cdrecord command from 
the CD-Writing-HOWTO and figured wrongly as it turns out if it would work 
for one iso it would work for others.  If there is no problem with the 
burning command, I'd like to know if Sony 52/52 CD-burners and Fedora are 
likely to work better together than this HL-DT-ST drive since I could have 
the drive replaced if that's the case.
