Well thank you! I thought I was going mad, or something like that. Tried
to burn an audio-cd on the same drive and that worked out well, somehow.
Now I know what's causing it... I don't think I will buy a new drive,
this one works fine, except for that limit, then, :-/
However, I tried to burn knoppix on a CD-RW (for the second time) and
that worked well (for the second time)... Maybe the fixating is done
differently for CD-R and CD-RW?
