I have downloaded shunt and I am currently learning how to use it. In the doc on your webpage you wrote: "If you need to run shunt and flyisofs on linux, make sure you are using linux-2.6.8 or higher. Previous kernels work for burning CDs, but they do not work for DVDs because the inode numbering scheme overflows at 4GB. Starting with linux-2.6.8, the kernel includes a patch I wrote that does not overflow until 128GB. This new scheme should be adequate for two or three more generations of media." I am using linux vanilla kernel 2.6.17.7, so the above /should/ not apply, but... Some days ago I wrote to the mailing list (I am using Gentoo...), that I get bad DVD, when they carry more than 4GB data. The problem was, that the pkcdvd (pktsetup) was installed at boot time by default. I removed the call to the init script and anything not being related to pktcdvd/pktsetup works fine...leaving me behind wondering, why writing vi pktcdvd/pksetup should be limited to 4GB. May be your patch should be applied to the pktsetup/pkcdvd "driver" also ??? Another problem: I was not able to build libcustcalc. The current release of calc seems to be broken. Neithe the Gentoo install mechanism nor installing by hand works. Keep hacking! ;) mcc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
