Distros will detect CDRW drive but that doesn't mean they set up the SCSI
emulation (hence you can read CDs but you can't _write_ to CDR or
CDRW). Someone may correct me on this, but my _guess_ is that USB CDRWs
would require SCSI emulation, just as IDE CDRW drives do.
By the way, what kind of errors or problems are you getting when you try
to use XCDRoast?

Ryland, I use gcombust when I need to. I'm curious if
http://www.linuxlinks.com has a good repository of burning programs.
Go into their software link.
I don't think you're command-line skittish, but for the sake of
others, this is what I use to copy a CD-ROM:
$CLI> dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/my/directory/of/CDimages/cdrom.iso
Literally, Input File equals my device to suck the information from;
Output File is the image to create.
$CLI> cdrecord -v dev=0,6,0 speed=8 -isosize
/my/directory/of/CDimages/cdrom.iso
Again, be Verbose; SCSI controller zero, target six, LUN zero; speed
of burn is eight; make it an ISO image; take the source from
/blah_blah_blah
I'm not at a terminal so some of my translations might be off.
Gentle or incredibly rude corrections are always appreciated.
