I assume you mean 'cdrecord -fix', but I'm reluctant to do that with a CDROM that _has_ been fixated, let alone one that was interrupted part way through. What I wanted to know was how to detect if this is the case; what symptoms of a missing/malformed fixation or TOC should I look for? -- Kevin O'Gorman (805) 650-6274 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Permanent e-mail forwarder: mailto:Kevin.O'[EMAIL PROTECTED] At school: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~kogorman/index.html Web: http://kosmanor.com/~kevin/index.html "Life is short; eat dessert first!" _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
