But do make sure to test that discs you burn at high speeds are mountable - I've made coasters here and there by burning them too fast, including coasters because they do mount up, but their el-torito boot image is scorched too fast, and one reallt subtle one where a truly paranoid check (diff against the tree I just mkisofs'd from) revealed about 5 files didn't match themselves... I'd have been really sorry if I let that one go to the developer team who needed it, so I was *really* glad I'd checked! * Heather Stern * star@ many places... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
