CD writes are failing randomly still. Damn it. I hate to say it, but CD writing is pretty hard to do right on my system. I cannot have X Windows running for one reason or another (even though I have a SCSI drive and (I think) a moderately decent PCI controller). In case you haven't tried it, make sure you are running as few extra programs/daemons as possible. Maybe even disconnect your computer from the network if you have to (you might be getting huge numbers of interrupts or something). -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ I give advice worth the / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ price -- free! \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
