Re: problems with growisofs on Fedora 1.0
Laurens,
Thanks for the blazing-fast response and the informative link. I have not
seen that information before.
I actually created ISOs big enough to fill every byte of the DVD, so that
I would avoid any end-of-media issues (not that I actually would, but I
tried to). It looks like my problems were caused by bad media, and just
happened to coincide with my upgrade. I issued a retraction to the
'cdwrite' mailing list.
Thanks, again.
