Thinking about it now I think a different burning port segfaulted and simply used tkdvd because I didn't want to run the xcd-roast setup as root and was in a rush. tkdvd has a nopad option for cds which is the only reason I wanted k3b (I think can't pad though!) in order to be able to checksum the cd device file (verify and a security check in one pass) at any time matching the iso checksum. Padding is to get around a bug in some old recorders and whilst I have some drives that can't boot rewritables I have never come across this hardware bug requiring padding that most burning programs annoyingly enforce. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
