1. It is not installed, even in expert/all. I installed it manually.I dont have a problem using ERoaster. I burned MDK 9.0 just fine and have burned a few audio cd's also.
2. It does not provide a blanking option before you burn (it is a special option outside that that you would have to somehow know about beforehand).
3. It produced kcrash after burn & fixate when I tried it on 9.0 Cd2 with a 700MB RW blank..
4. The CD was:
[ron@small scd0]$ du -Sb Mandrake
698137088 Mandrake/RPMS2
2048 Mandrake
[ron@small scd0]$
The ISO was:
[ron@small cd-9.0-etc]$ du -Sb 2-Cooker.iso
699957248 2-Cooker.iso
[ron@small cd-9.0-etc]$
5. md5sums:
[ron@small cd-9.0-etc]$ md5sum /dev/scd0 2-Cooker.iso
md5sum: /dev/scd0: Input/output error

[ron@small cd-9.0-etc]$
This despite the Audio dao option being checked.
