You can disable that auto-burn thing by:

	RedHat icon->Preferences->CD Propertes

and unchecking the "Run command with blank CD is inserted" option.  If
you want to burn an ISO image, just close that bloody Nautilus window
"cdrecord -v name-of-iso-file" on the command line.

I agree there.  That autostart crap is annoying.  Thank goodness you can
turn it off!
