Try different cd-burning software, too. I've had a lot of mixed results with various versions of the same thing. My best luck has been with gcombust. But I had trouble with one of those. Others have proved to be more dodgy. Some have even been good at copying and horrid at straight burning. Some were good with audio, some poor, some didn't burn at all. For the record, my CDs cost less than $0.10 each, and I've only had 2 bad burns out of several hundred excepting when I could trace it directly to the software I was using. But I burn anything 650MB or more at 2X, just to be safe, even though the CDs are supposedly 32X. All else I use 6-10X with good results. Anyway, my results don't prove anything except that's how it worked for me. Just wanted to point to the possibility of software problems, too. -- Plagiarism saves time. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
