About that i don't care much.
growisofs covers all my DVD needs.
I understand, though, that these DVD "addons" are an
unfriendly gesture towards the only person who
provides CD burning on Linux and several other OSs.
I mean, if one wants to show Joerg the middle finger
then please not by constantly forking his alpha
versions but by bringing a decent Unix style write
device for data CD into the standard kernel
- just for an example.

There is a security team with SuSE ? (chuckle)
Well, at least somebody must be in charge to write
advisories like this one :
Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2004:011
Date: Thursday, May 6th 2004 22:30 MEST
Affected products: SUSE LINUX 9.1 Personal Edition Live CD
Vulnerability Type: remote root access
Severity (1-10): 8
SuSE default package: yes
http://www.linuxsecurity.com/advisories/suse_advisory-4305.html
In that light and if i have to choose ...
... i'll bet on Joerg. :))
> and the removal of the suid requirement.
Exactly with that, SuSE 9.0 failed.
I would not call it "removal of the suid requirement"
if it does not work for normal users with or without
suid.
You take an old version from SuSE 7.2 and all is well.
My software is a parasite on cdrtools and growisofs.
I am strongly interested in a low percentage of
non-working installations of both. The cdrtools hacks
produce a substantial amount of those, i can assure
you.
> Compiles OOTB on 9.1
Compiler problems come and go with versions of cdrecord
and Linux.
For a while i could safely point towards the distribution
binaries. But meanwhile i can only wish good luck.
Have a nice day :)
