Actually it's a 10.0 system currently (which is why I'm trying to burn 10.1 ISOs). Still no love from cdrecord after forcing the gcc packages as you suggested; is there a way to 'test' gcc from the command line to see if it's working better? Is cdrecord the only available burn 'backend' program? Maybe there's one that won't fail out...Nautilus-cd-burner wants to install a crapload of other libraries I don't have on the HD yet, so that seems overkill when I'm not even certain that it's not using the same backend... I apologize if these are stupid questions, I'm just a little confused by this whole process (as if that wasn't bloody obvious). David
