Well, I don't burn CDs very often - only recenty if I needed them for
testing slinky :-)  And in those cases I used root.

So I tried cd-writing as non-priviledged user and - it failed.  But
after setting cdrecord which is owned by root to suid - it's working.
Just burning FC2-disk3 to feed it to slinky installing FC2.

Seems that I am missing the point.
