Quite probable.
It could even be something stupid I did in building the kernel....

I can mount and copy files off the cd, only.

I've never been able to get a cd burner working on linux....
I have no idea what to try/do.....gui or command line....

If you suggest something, tell me where a simple file is to use
and suggest exact syntax....

I'd just like to see a simple ascii text file burned to either
the rw media or the oneshot cd media.....

Ideas are most welcome.
