I've tried the DVD+RW on another machine, and I also get I/O errors. Then I've just burnt it with the same archive on the same machine, and I could re-read it with no errors (same contents). So, there may be problems with the drive of my 4-year laptop, which can no longer handle some media. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
