I'm not absolutely sure but I guess only growisofs accounts for the kernel deficiency and not dvd+rw-format. Andy? > > The help here is not easy.

You should really go to a working version of FreeBSD instead. Note that you'll hit this problem on CD-R too, and dvd+rw-tools don't do CD-R. Can you blank a CD-RW using cdrecord? Does cdrdao works for you? There are no alternatives to these programs. -- Pav Lucistnik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A cow is a sphere that emits milk into all directions.
