FWIW I get some funny complaints but CD-ROMS write ok anyway.
(It decides that I have one, single track of 650M . . . well, unlimited
capacity, actually, but scdbackup is kind enough not to try to write
more than that.)

|
| Axalon....there's a significant thread here that I guess you

| supermount problems for over a week now and you've not been
| contributing at all (nor has anyone else from MandrakeSoft).
| Brian is rightfully upset when you accuse him directly of not
| careing to learn as should be all of us who have been involved
| in this thread. You talk about disc 3 to a bunch of folks who
| either downloaded an iso or bought a GPL? Probably no one here
| has a powerpack that, by the way was only announced as available
| on February 28th which was less than a week and a half ago.
|
| I think you owe Brian and all the rest of us involved in the
| supermount thread a big apology! We've been trying very hard,
| with no help from any mandrakeSoft personel, to work out the
| problems that people have been having with supermount.
|
| Alan
|
| Thanks to all those who did reply with help on the supermount issue.
|
| Trevor.
