OK, I got GnomeBaker installed. It also worked fine until it needed to
burn the CD. Here is the resonse:

cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler
cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority().
cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns.

NOTE: this version of cdrecord is an unofficial (modified) release of cdrecord
and thus may have bugs that are not present in the original version.

The original author should not be bothered with problems of this version.

Do I have to run as sudo even if my fstab entries:

/dev/hdh /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdg /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 rw,user,noauto 0 0

Is the problem something else? Anyone?

Cheers,
