4. Dear Winfried,...

4.1 How sensitive is the burning process?
4.2 Has file fragmentation a bad impact on the throughput?
4.3 Is it possible to store the CD-image on an UMSDOS-filesystem?
4.4 Isn't there some way to get around the ISO-9660 limitations?
4.5 How to read the tracks from audio CDs?
4.6 How to probe for SCSI devices after boot?
4.7 Is it possible to make a 1:1 copy of a data CD?
4.8 Can Linux read Joliet CD-ROMs? (obsolete answer)
4.9 How do I read/mount CD-ROMs with the CD-writer?
4.10 How to put even more data on the CD-R?
4.11 How to make bootable CD-ROMs?
4.12 How to make CD-ROMs writable like a hard disk?
4.13 Is it possible to use several writers at once?
4.14 What about Solaris, *BSD, AIX, HP-UX, etc.? Is my variant of Unix supported?
4.15 Where to store the local configuration permanently?
4.16 How can the CD-info be retrieved?
4.17 What about re-writing
4.18 How to create a multi-session CD?
4.19 Should I use the SCSI adapter shipped with the writer?
4.20 How to burn over the network?
4.21 I hear a crack or click sound at the end of the each track.
4.22 How can this be set up so that a user can burn CDs instead of always
4.23 Where do I get the "Yellow Book" and "Orange Book" standards?
4.24 I've been searching for information on burning Video-CD under Linux.
4.25 Which is easier to set up, IDE or SCSI?
4.26 How can I overburn a CD using {cdrecord,cdrdao}?
4.27 What will cdrecord do when it stops getting input from the pipe?
4.28 Is there an equivalent to ignore=hdX for the ide-scsi emulation?
4.29 How many times can you re-use CD-RW before they become faulty?
4.30 Which format to choose for a platform independant CD-ROM?
4.31 Is multi-session for audio tracks possible?
4.32 What hardware resources do I need? Is an old Pentium enough?

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 It doesn't work: under Linux
5.2 Error-message: No read access for 'dev=0,6,0'.
5.3 It doesn't work: under DOS and friends
5.4 SCSI errors during the burning phase
5.5 Medium errors
5.6 Newly written CDs are not readable on some players.
5.7 My scanner stopped working after I loaded the ide-scsi module
