Eduard, you are getting angry therefore you are wrong. My point is that instead of introducing changes into the code of a _core_ utility, you should better kick the maintainer of that wrong GUI in question who was not ready for the transition to the new cdrecord tools and in favor of whom you have done that change. I have to note also that xcdroast worked fine with the new tools, until the moment you got the idea of this 'clever' hack. Another thing to note is that xcdroast has '-n' option that forbids any version checks. This is an obvious workaround, however I would say that it is yet another ugly thing that etch users will have to live with. -- Stanislav -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
