As a rule I think multiple list posting is inappropriate, but after
posting the following on kde-linux it seems to me that the problem may
be with the hardware setup in my Debian installation. So I thought I'd
at least ask if you-all could note any details regarding what to look
for in my optical hardware configuration?
Thank you for your patience,

kde-linux post
==============
So you understand I'm at the early learning stage:
In the last several days I've expunged MS from the PC on my LAN and
installed Debian. Being very happy with my Mac, I went with KDE to
allow a somewhat similar desktop.
Now it's time to backup what I've done before I screw it up :-) so I
also installed K3B to use optical media. In my trials today I've had no
problem creating and restoring a data CD, but I can't get K3B to do
anything with DVDs. I've tried DVD-R and DVD-RW, and even different
brands of each (Verbatim, hp and imation). I hate to use umpteen CDs
when one or two DVDs will do the trick :-(
I have a Benq 32x10x40 CD R/W in an internal bay (hdc) and a Pioneer
DVD-RW DVR-103 in another internal bay (hdd). If I load a DVD with
contents, K3B lists what is on it and if I load a blank DVD it says it
knows that also.
I don't know if this is a linux issue or a K3B issue and I'm not sure
where to go from here. The applicable errors noted are below.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you,
Lee C
