Bought a Panasonic (Mitsumi) SCSI CD-R writer 8x20x (no re-write) at T-Zone
for about 21,000 yen (tax included) last weekend...  Used xcdroast (with all
the dependancies satisfied) and burned ISO images at 8x...;-)  (You also
have to buy a SCSI controller though...;-( )

I used Caldera OpenLinux 2.3, what can I say, I'm lazy..;-)  Thanks to
Kitano-san...;-)


Cheers,
