Is this a "secure" kernel? I record CDs with 2.2.17 (compiled myself)
with no problems, but when I installed Mandrake 7.1 and tried to restore
my tape backups with flexbackup, I couldn't. Flexbackup uses the
"buffer" program, and buffer doesn't work with the secure kernel. Maybe
the buffering for cdrecord works the same way?
