Or make sure you know the exact DVD drive model you have and lookup a firmware file at http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php which disables the limit on number of zone changes that's built-in to (most?) DVD drives. Worked for me on previous drive (LG GSA-4163B) but so far I haven't figured out which drive came in my new Dell Dimension 520. --Amos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
