Recent experience with several different versions of linux (ppc and x86) has
been that the number of "coasters'" produced went down when you write cd's as
'root'. It's been our choice to run them as root because that gives you the
highest priority when it comes to slices of cpu power. All users of the
cd-writer must therefore know the root password ... and give it prior to
starting the process. This is true for CLI or xwindows writing ... so it
bears thinking about.
