If problem is still present then I agree further examination of the message is the way to go as you point out. As the next upstream release (3.5.0) is going to happen soon (before the end of the month) you may prefer to wait some days before burning that DVD and test with the very last one instead of current 3.4.0 (which I would prefer too :-). thanks in advance, -- Ricardo Mones http://people.debian.org/~mones «You are confused; but this is your normal state.»
