Maybe the package description is wrong and it should say: This package includes a format utility for DVD+RW media, a frontend to mkisofs for burning DVD+-RW/R and some associated tools. Of course the docs for dvd+rw-tools say that ONLY dvd+rw needs formating, and growisofs actually auto detects if it hasn't been done and does it (in a few seconds). I imagine it probably would auto blank or overwrite a dvd-rw when asked to (with -Z), just as it does with dvd+rw. Otherwise perhaps the dvd+rw-format -blank=full would do the right thing to a dvd-rw. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
