Ahh, you may have answered something that's been puzzling me for a while -- I'll probably run a test to confirm it, but maybe you can confirm it now: Question: when you do the "md5sum /dev/cdrom" do you get the "published" md5sum? I never do, but if I burn multiple copies of a CD, I get the same results for each copy. But, I don't think I burn my CDs with the disk at once option (I burn audio CDs that way, but not data (and I burn in Windows using Easy CD-Creator -- I presume I can do DAO on a data CD with Easy CD)). (My CD burner is in a box that is temporarily not hooked up while I work on setting up some servers for a computer school I help with.) Randy Kramer
