As far as I can tell SuSE has had the following text in the cdrecord banner for a while: Cdrecord-Clone-dvd 2.01a27 (i686-suse-linux) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling Note: This version is an unofficial (modified) version with DVD support Note: and therefore may have bugs that are not present in the original. Note: Please send bug reports or support requests to http://www.suse.de/feedback Note: The author of cdrecord should not be bothered with problems in this version. So I wonder what Jörg is complaining about. /Christer -- "Just how much can I get away with and still go to heaven?"
