Aaron,
It's the "blank" option with cdrecord. It looks like the erase tool in
k3b.
Bob...
Oh, Oh. Blank and Format are not the same thing. Blank erases a disk on
which files have been stored using k3b or cdrecord on a CD-RW disk.
Format allows you to use the CD-RW disk as if it was a hard disk or a
memory stick to copy files on to it with the cp command or erase using
the rm command.
