That wasn't me, tho I share the idea that the author of an app
like k3b should be taken out and shot for designing a program that
makes radical changes, or even any changes to a system configuration
file like fstab.
I took a look at k3b about a year ago. Fortunately I keep a
backup of important files like fstab. Within minutes after installin
k3b, I realized how k3b had mangled my fstab, uninstalled it, and
replaced fstab with the backup copy.
So I'll just say again, IMO, There's somethin wrong, one thing or
another, with every GUI out there for usin cdrecord. Also that using
cdrecord from the CL is actually easier and quicker, and with much
better results than any of the GUI's anyhow.
