Karl:
The 'Gnome cd/dvd burner', as in "Nautilus CD Burner", or "CD/DVD
Creator"? :( (It won't burn. That's why I'm asking about
_other_ utilities.)
I use the "CD/DVD" Creator and have burned about 20 cd and 2 DVD for
F7 and F8. If it doesn't work your CD or DVD or both drives are
broken. Get a new drive.
So, it sounds like you missed my emails over the past several months
regarding not being able to burn CDs.
To summaraize: I began with linux using SUSE 10.0, on 2 machines - it
worked (I think it also used the Creator). I switched to Fedora at FC5.
I installed it on those boxes, plus 3 others - it worked.
Then, I installed FC6, and began having problems. The same with FC7.
Here is the problem:

Furthermore, I just popped a *new* Memorex CD burner in - Creator fails
with that, too.
