Fwiw, machine #2 tried to burn the gwget download with K3B; that failed, with the error : System ----------------------- K3b Version: 1.0.4 KDE Version: 3.5.9-5.fc8 Fedora QT Version: 3.3.8b Kernel: 2.6.24.7-92.fc8 Devices ----------------------- UNKNOWN DVD-E616P2 1.07 (/dev/sr0, ) [CD-ROM, DVD-ROM] [DVD-ROM, CD-ROM] [None] LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-832S VS04 (/dev/sr1, ) [CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL] [DVD-ROM, DVD-R Sequential, DVD- RW Restricted Overwrite, DVD-RW Sequential, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD+R Dual Layer, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW] [SAO, TAO, RAW, SAO/R96P, SAO/R96R, RAW/R16, RAW/R96P, RAW/R96R, Restricted Overwrite] Burned media ----------------------- DVD-RW Sequential Used versions ----------------------- growisofs: 7.0 growisofs ----------------------- Executing 'builtin_dd if=/dev/fd/0 of=/dev/sr1 obs=32k seek=0' /dev/sr1: "Current Write Speed" is 2.0x1352KBps. :-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/ASC=64h/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error :-( attempt to re-run with -dvd-compat -dvd-compat to engage DAO or apply full blanking procedure :-( write failed: Input/output error growisofs command: ----------------------- /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/sr1=/dev/fd/0 -use-the-force-luke=notray -use- the-force-luke=tty -use-the-force-luke=tracksize:1748379 -dvd-compat - speed=2 -use-the-force-luke=bufsize:32m Meanwhile, machine #1 burned the bittorrent download with K3B, checked it, and trumpetted success. I put it in the laptop now, and it didn't boot ; but I'm not sure whether that's a DVD or just a CD reader. So I plugged the external drive into it, and that didn't work either -- it didn't even seem to see it either time. I'm going to try the trumpetted one in #3 PC ... -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8; Alpine 0.99999, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2.0.3, Epiphany 2.20, Opera 9.24, Firefox 2.0 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
