I'll get the new version. I downloaded the previous one and it burned/worked OK, with one caveat:
In a text mode window (Alt-Shift-F2), it was apparently able to operate the display in 1600x1200 mode, but in the GUI window it was only 1024x768. A couple months ago someone loaded me a Knoppix copy and it ran the GUI in 1600x1200 just fine, but I was unable to copy that CD since it was 704MB and my blanks were 650MB. Yours burns fine, but won't use my display to its full resolution. Any ideas? -- Dean ps: Does the new version have vi or vim? I was astounded that a text-mode editor (not counting ed) was not there that I could find.
