OK, got it. So I looked closer. And with a Samsung external (USB) DVD
burner, I see all these options:
* on a non-Tails Debian unstable system I have here;
* on Tails 2.0~beta1 booted from USB on a ThinkPad X200.
So the fact you don't see these options needs more investigation.
Can you please start Tails 2.0~beta1, set an admin password in the
Greeter, run the following command:
sudo tails-debugging-info
... and send me the complete output over _private_ email?
(Don't send it to the mailing-list.)
Also, it would be useful if you installed the brasero-cdrkit package
on Tails 2.0~beta1, and retried: it might have something to do with
seeing these options, or not.
