Those are all useful bits of information that should probably be in the bug report. It would be nice if you had exact package versions, but if you don't it still helps narrow things down a bit. Probably the most important part of reporting a bug is giving the maintainer enough information to reproduce the bug on his or her system. > I have now created a large > pile of coasters trying to get k3B, Brasero, and makedvd to work, without > success.

Yes, while creating the fs and burning should be able to be done from the command-line, the GUI tools should work as well. Having the use software not available in Debian is grounds for a bug, at least for this task.[1] -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ [1] It would be different if no software that Debian can distribute purports to handle the task.
