[WYLUG-help] still trying to get this machine to copy cds/dvds

[Mike]

Yes, I have been trying as an ordinary user. Here is what I got, but I'll try again as root and append the result below:

cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.

now retry as su, showing above as permission problem which I thought had been fixed at an earlier WYLUG-help session!

I don't know what I'm doing wrong with the image. Here's what I'm doing, as su this time:

mkisofs -r -joliet-long -o /tmp/image . which produces (first few and last few lines):

INFO:   UTF-8 character encoding detected by locale settings.
        Assuming UTF-8 encoded filenames on source filesystem,
        use -input-charset to override.

at the end. Does that throw light on the topic?
