   I don't know about the MD5SUM stuff. I have burned about 50 CDs and 
never worried about that MD5SUM stuff. 

   I don't know anything about X-CDRoast either. ;) I just use cdrecord 
from the cdrtools program. You can find that on www.freshmeat.net. 

   With cdrecord, you just do something like:
cdrecord -v -data filename.iso
and it burns the CD. 

   I have the cdrecord options ( speeed, drive, etc)  in the 
/etc/cdrecord.conf file so cdrecord -v -data filename.iso does the
trick.
