I've got it running like a charm on several machines. I haven't tried the enterprise kernel but the SMP and standard kernel both are great.

The other things were _very_ minor. Perhaps Windoze would have had a problem with DarkBlue as a color, but _all_ systems running X have a /usr/X11R6/lib/rgb.txt with DarkBlue in it. And I changed the font-size it complained about. All but the one error only would have affected browsers CSS2 compliant because what it complained about was within the CSS2 only area.

Let me show you: One of the above the parse chokes on. Why? look at the case in the word transitional. The case is not supposed to matter, so obviously the parser is borken.

It seems to be pressed by default. Shouldn't the software know whether -swab is required? OK, tonight, I'll try again to burn audio with gcombust to see what I get. And, I'll use a CD-RW ;-).

In other words, how am I supposed to know >whether the audio data is in "byte-swapped (little endian) order"? WTF is >"byte-swapped (little endian) order" anyway? Better yet, why do I even have to know? According to the cdrecord man page: -swab If this flag is present, audio data is assumed to be in byte- swapped (little-endian) order. Some types of CD-Writers e.g. Yamaha, Sony and the new SCSI-3/mmc drives require audio data to be presented in little-endian order, while other writers require audio data to be presented in the big-endian (network) byte order normally used by the SCSI protocol. Cdrecord knows if a CD- Recorder needs audio data in big- or little-endian order, and cor rects the byte order of the data stream to match the needs of the recorder. You only need the -swab flag if your data stream is in Intel (little-endian) byte order. Note that the verbose output of cdrecord will show you if swapping is necessary to make the byte order of the input data fit the required byte order of the recorder. Cdrecord will not show you if the -swab flag was actually present for a track. ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Secret? There isn't one really. First go to the "Audio Files" tab, and select what you wish to burn, then go to the "Burn" tab, and select "Audio Files" in the top "Data Seource" box. Make sure that all the other options under "Misc Options" & "CD-Records device options" are accurate for your environment, and then click the "Combust!" button at the bottom.

At least with xcdroast, as clunky as the UI is, I can get it to burn audio on a consistent basis. BTW, I downloaded arson, http://arson.sourceforge.net/, last night and it *looks* nice, but I'm currently out of CD-Rs, so I couldn't do anything more than look at and configure it.
