Thanks for the info. Installed xcdroast, but when I try to configure it
by running from the command line (gksu xcdroast) it cranks up the CPU to
94% and according to htop hangs with wodim trying to do a drive check
(wodim dev=2,0,0 -v -checkdrive). The only way to kill it is to do a
'kill PID#'. Perhaps it doesn't like my drives.
