On my system SuSE 9.1 "2.6.5-7.104-default" I can only, rip or burn one CD. The system runs out of memory and hangs about half way through the second cd. I tried just creating the image but not writing and than doesn't seem to cause the problem. Only when the CD burner is used I see this problem. The burner is an Emprex DVDRW 1008IM, used on an Athlon XP 2500+ system with 1GB of ram and 1GB of swap. The system seems to lock up when all the ram is exhausted, the swap is about 90% free. I haven't debugged the problem much I just wanted to ask around before I start digging in. Thanks. -- Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment. -Dr. Nikola Tesla
