[wellylug] tip for cdrecord and those running 2.4 kernel

[lug]

Hi, 

I'm running debian sarge with cdrecord 2.01a19. 

I've recently been in the business of making frisbees/coasters. 

cdrecord would bail after (insert random amount here) megabytes of
writing to a new cd. 

I googled and discovered the magic words:

hdparm -d0 -c1 /dev/hdd 
hdparm -d 1 -X 34 /dev/hdd 

So, if any of you were having zero luck creating your backup cd's
(cough), then this might help.

Thanks to this, I now have a fresh copy of morphix on cd. If anyone
wants a copy let me know, and we can arrange terms.

fyi:
