I think CD burning is like the canary in the coal mine, if it stops working something is broken. It may be "better" to burn with ide-cd, in some hope of avoiding overhead which is small beyond measurement for data CDs on most systems, but it should work, and the fact that it has stopped working probably indicates something has changed which will later rise up to bite us with IDE tape, or MO, or avoiding ide-floppy for ZIP, or whatever. If you think of it as a test program for the interface it matches reality better, except that many people cross boot between 2.4 and 2.5, don't want to build using Joreg's odd idea of header files, and generally use this interface for production use. -- bill davidsen, TMR
