If xcdroast is being referred to, I tried the test originally without 
running setenforce 0 before test.
Later, I tried the same thing after running setenforce 0 and recieved an 
error as in attached files.

The errors were related to power cycling needed on the drives.

I have xcdroast-0.98a15-5 installed but never saw the -6 rpm  for 
cdroast appear. I held the files for tests post *-6 version of xcdroast.

For nautilus-cd-burner, running setenforce 0 allowed me to burn the RC2 
discs.  Before issuing setenforce 0 the dialog box was causing problems.

Regarding avc errors, I'll have to check for these messages. Are they 
still present when running in enforcing mode?
