[Bug 510505] Re: cdrecord has no permission to open the device

[david38840]

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately I am a newbie and don't really 
understand the solution.
I have downloaded cdrtools, but its a beta.tar.gz file and I dont know 
the command line instructions to install it.
Can I actually solution the problems with cdrtools? You mention I cannot.
its incorrect interfacing to hald in the fork? What does this mean and 
how do you think I can solution.
Many thanks for your help and assistance.
