I was having some problems trying to use cdrecord in dsl-n because it works slightly differently than the cdrecord in dsl does. First of all, you need to run it as root. The second things was the CD drives didn't appear when I ran [b]sudo cdrecord -scanbus[/b]. At first I wrote off making CDs in dsl-n, but then I read elsewhere that you can look at the output from [b]dmesg[/b] to find your drives.

[b]dmesg | grep "CD"[/b]

Mine show up as ATAPI drives, so I could find there numbers using:

[b]sudo cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus[/b]

Then I was able to record my iso using

[b]sudo cdrecord -v dev=ATA:0,1,0 myimage.iso[/b]

the numbers (0,1,0) that you will need may be different. Look at the output to cdrecord -scanbus for the correct ones.

When I read the topic of this post I said to myself, "cdrecord doesn't work in dsl-n!" But I tried your trick, and it works. Thank you.

My liteon DVD burner works fine with cdrecord.

Changing mindset over to the ATA: code in cdrecord was
the hurdle I had to figure/find out about, even in the larger distros.
