= Cdrtools = cdrecord has ISO-8859-1 characters hard-coded in its messages. Thus, they can't be displayed properly in locales using other character sets. Also, they make some UTF-8 terminal emulators upset. If you have Glibc and the de_DE locale and understand legal consequences of doing that, run the commands below to convert messages to ASCII approximations (e.g., "Jrg Schilling" -> "Joerg Schilling"). Alternatively, apply [http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/attachment/wiki/Cdrtools/cdrtools-2.01-ascii-1.patch?format=raw this patch] that has the same legal consequences. {{{ for F in cdrecord/cdrecord.c cdrecord/diskid.c cdrecord/sector.c \ readcd/readcd.c scgcheck/scgcheck.c scgskeleton/skel.c ; do LC_ALL=de_DE iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t US-ASCII//TRANSLIT $F >tmp mv -f tmp $F done }}} The comment in cdrecord.c states that, because of GPL requirements, you are not allowed to do that (because these commands modify the copyright notices), but how can a copyright notice containing invalid byte sequences be valid? !RedHat ignores this comment and patches copyright notices.
