Package: burn Version: 0.4.3-2.1 Severity: normal This is for an older K6-400 system I've resurrected.
Anyway, after playing apt-get for about 1 day with this system, I burned a couple of CD-Rs with KANOTIX on them. Burn was the program I used. It worked fine (I think). I didn't have MD5sums of the ISO I was burning, so I don't know if the transfer was good or not. I later tried booting off those CDs, and a half dozen steps into booting, things died with both CDs. Since the KANOTIX in question was some kind of preview, maybe it was the preview, maybe it was the transfer. When I next went to run burn, with the oldest stable ISO of KANOTIX, I kept getting errors. Burn was always telling me that the media was no longer writable (I tried about 8 new disks, different colour tops). Burn still has /usr/bin/cdrecord in it (instead of wodim), the error wodim gives is about inability to set SG_SET_TIMEOUT. Going through the ATAPI README for wodim, seems to get things working. Sort of. You can't have cdrom and cdrw symlinks pointing at the same device. I'm using just a cdrom link, and it is working fine. Also, upgrading this older Debian-Jr distribution (last used about 2.5 years ago?) has been nothing but interesting. But I have no idea if anyone at Debian is interested, let alone if I should file a report on it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
