Or maybe the original become RO during the burning process? That would make sense, because the burning app may not handle the case when you modify the files you told it to burn. It could then burn half a file one version and half another... If that's what it does, and you killed the burning app halfway, the files may have stayed RO. If you didn't, just don't try to write to them until the burning is done. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
