I'm trying to burn two CDs (Mandrake 8.2 beta 2, for doing a bit of
testing - although a Red Hat man at heart, I do like Mandrake just a
little bit!) and it's taking nearly two hours to burn both CDs thanks to
cdrecord's insistance on burning them at 4x speed regardless of whatever
speed I tell it to burn on the the command line, or through using
XCDRoast. 

I just wish I could burn CDs through one of my VMWare Windows 2000
sessions right now, but of course CD-RW is not supported even in raw
access mode under VMWare 3.0.
