I burned some cd's tonight, but I also had a hard time with the writer
before I could effectively use it.
After typing
cdwrite --dummy --verbose image.iso
I decided after 5 seconds that I wanted to add a parameter "--speed 2" to
the command line and pressed ^C.
I got the prompt back, no error from cdwrite, but the writer was locked
up. I could not even open the tray anymore (exept with brute force.)
cdwrite would only give errors and could not even determine the device
model anymore (a Philips cdd2600.)
Only after turning the computer off and on could I get it to work (and I
did not press ^C anymore :-\ )
