[wplug] how to burn ISOs in Pitt' s unix labs?

[Robert L. Jeffries]

(not sure if this has been suggested...) 
The guys that put together the image for the lab machines at Pitt do a
really nice job, considering that they manage several hundred machines.
This may sound offal if you bent on just using the RH9 builds/boxes to
burn your ISOs, but why not take a very short walk over to a WinXP
machine and use Ahead Nero? As far as getting a job done quickly, I'd go
this route. Besides, the lab techs will probably know how to support the
Windows Box more thoroughly than the Linux box. Just a thought... It's
not my intention to defame linux or anything, or even to support
Microsoft.

The answer is in your error:
cdrecord: Permission denied. Cannot open '/dev/sg1'.
Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord
-scanbus'. Make sure you are root.

I use:
cdrecord -v -speed=16 -dev=0,1,0 -dao -eject -pad padsize=150s
yourISO.iso

where the speed and device ID are correct for your system (and you have
perms on the device)

wplug,
We are in front of a RH9 machine at the Pitt computer
labs, trying to burn some distro CDs. However,
cdrecord complains:

bash-2.05b$ cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C)
1995-2002 J?rg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24
cdrecord: Permission denied. Cannot open '/dev/sg1'.
Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord
-scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try
'cdrecord dev=help'.
bash-2.05b$
-----
there is no xcdroast or koncd here. Any idea on how to
burn cds in these labs? I could find the way in the XP
machines either...
(please answer to my account -- your quick answer
would be very appreciated, but my change from "digest"
to "real time" on Wplug may not kick in yet...)
