If you have problems with your distro, please try tro contact the people behind that distro. > > I'm just trying to understand why slackware about-to-be-released new > > latest distro is still on 3.0.1 > > As they think/believe the 3.0.2alpha means it's not "Stable"?? > > The old alphas no longer seem available on my mirror, and as Jorg said, > its no longer released as cdrtools for years now, its is now in his all > encompassing schilytools package, which has a whole lot more than > cdrecord mkisofs etc. I have no idea what mirror you have in mind.

Sorry, but it does not help if a distro offers easy to install binary packages that are full of distro specific bugs that prevent usability. In general, in order to avoid your problem, you have two options: - compile cdrtools yourself - switch to a Linux distro that is fully OSS oriented > and if I am to show justification to slackware, I need authoritative > answer to my install question, and I shouldnt have to "try it myself" to > find out :) Well, Suse, Gentoo and some other Linux distros switched to schilytools a long time ago. Did you try to contact your distro?
