Hi Erylon, thanks for the reply. Well, see...it was a working setup that I
had. Then the problem with my /home occurred and I had to reinstall. I
thought I put everything back the way I had it before, but its obvious that I
must not have.
I use Gcombust here, like it a lot - it works fine with my setup. It does not
support DVDs though. K3b did, until now, after the reinstall. So I guess I'll
just keep playing with it. :-)
