Sory Kaj, but my advice is the opposite. k3b is a very good burner with features not available in other GUI based burning apps. K3b does offer to set up your fstab file for you. But you do not have to say 'Yes'. Set up your fstab by hand and k3b will fine. Since it will be in the main distro in 9.1 lots of people are going to be using it. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
