That's what I thought too, but I read somewhere that you just do it again. However *do not eject the media before redoing the image*. Apparently that is the secret. I have done it, so I can vouch that it works, and it does improve the image. >> I still want to be able to put an image on a CD or DVD, but I guess >> the only way to do that properly is with an inkjet.

I still want an inkjet. But I want one that doesn't clog up and require constant wet-nursing. One of my motivations is to make distro CDs (especially Ubuntu) to give to Windows users to try out. (Also OpenOffice.org.) I have done this in the past, but they don't trust a CD that I hand them with stuff written with a sharpie. They have heard so much about malware that they thank me, then throw the disk in the closest trashcan as soon as I am out of sight. If the disk looked "official" it would help a lot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
