I haven't had to do that.  I've burnt many CDs and DVDs with what Fedora
already had.

Years and years ago, I can recall problems with the original burning
tool, which may have been cdrtools, *STUPIDLY* requiring ordinary users
to have root privileges to burn discs.  I seem to recall he still thinks
that's necessary.

My opinion of some software authors is not very high.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
