Isn't that unusual? XCDRoast was the burning application that I always used, and it worked well, but with Mandrake 9.1 thought that I would try k3b, why not? Invoked it, configured it, and was willing to burn a drink coaster with multi session, or maybe even a CD with only 20MB of data on it. That's what happened with several CD's the first time I tried XCDRoast with multi session in Red Hat about 12 months ago. So kept windows on for Nero just to burn multi session CD's till CDRTools came out with XCDRoast. But k3b, no sweat, first multi-session and everything worked a treat. I burned a whole CD in everything from 10MB to 200MB sessions on the CD after removing it, putting it back in etc.. Then burned 100MB multi-session on win with Nero and burned the rest with k3b. I was really chuffed. Read every file and graphic on the CD making certain that I wasn't being fooled. I wasn't. I am listening to the audio CD that I burned a little while ago just for the exercise for Richard, to make certain that it didn't make any errors there either, and it didn't. Great little app, quick and easy. The only fright I had was when I clicked on the wrong CD drive. That is one thing that k3b did, it placed the CD's in reverse order and added two lines to the end of my /etc/fstab, /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom2 auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 That might be because I don't use supermount though? So I am surprised that trouble is being experienced with this. HTH Charlie -- It is the very energy of thought Which keeps thee from thy God.
