Shawn,

How close are you to Holland?  I've got Adelphia, so I could get 
something burned for you fairly quickly and you could maybe pick it 
up.  I've been messing w/ Gentoo lately, when I'm not at work cursing 
M$.  I use mkisofs and cdrecord exclusively for CD burning.  Works 
great, even on a 486 providing light Samba services to 3 Winblows 
machines.  IIRC, xcdroast is only a front end for cdrecord, anyway.  If 
that's the case, why bother w/ the extra layer?  Sorry, I've been doing 
command line since XT's with 10 megabyte drives were cutting edge, 
so ....
