[ale] Burning CDs

[Dow Hurst]

I'm not sure I understand why you think cdrecord requires the old syntax 
if the newer syntax worked.  Do you mean that K3B calls cdrecord with 
the old syntax?  All you have to do is use K3B to write your iso file 
and then call cdrecord with the new syntax at the command line to burn 
the cd.  You can even run mkisofs or growfs directory from the command 
line too and feed it to cdrecord on the fly.  If you can't reconfigure 
K3B and you want a GUI then try NeroLinux.  It is rated for 2.6 kernels.
