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

[Ryan W. Frenz]

AFAIK, you can't access your AFS account from the windows machines (except
via FTP).  So, if you would have to again 'download' the iso from AFS to
burn it on the XP machine (albeit at LAN speeds).

(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...)
