Why cdrkit? Why wodim? Why genisoimage? Because:
- it won't tell you that you have no /dev/pg* device file thing foo, that you
have never seen and you will never need
- it won't require to be executed as root, fail with obscure messages without
such permissions
- it won't force you to wait 3 seconds every time you want to start, no matter
what you specify as gracetime=
- it won't kill another burning process when you do -scanbus in another shell
- it will let you specify your device directly in the way you know it, rather
than forcing some weird TARGET,BUS,LUN syntax with weird numbers
- it will not wreak random havoc if you used spaces and not tabs in the config file
- genisoimage won't stop accepting the well known option -L in the near future
- genisoimage will stop on 2.1GiB large files rather than just "forgetting"
them and let you burn crap
- users are respected and not used as pinballs between us and the OS kernel
developers
