Hi! I was wondering how well lightscribe cd/dvd writers work under
linux? They are the ones that can also burn pictures and stuff on one
side of the media and data/music on the other. I don't want to bother
getting it if I can't use that feature (no, I won't use Windoze,
either!). If anyone has any experience with it, do please tell.
Thanks! -Steven
I have one built into the HP lappy I bought last spring, with a dual
boot of xp and fc5. Under fc5, with the newest bios, it works
perfectly, but even when empty it tends to be very verbose in the logs
about some minor thing. So apparently fc5's bus scanner is alive and
well, and it should learn to shut up if there's no disk in the drive.
But, I haven't made a coaster with it yet either. OTOH, I'm not
feeding it any lightscribe compatible disks until they're considerably
more reasonably priced. $4/disk or more isn't in my budget. Me old
fart, retired etc etc.
What program could I even use to write the label on the disc using the
drive's function (not printable paper labels, though)?
