I have not managed to burn a dvd on FC11 at all. Brasero gave a strange error message and took a long time before finishing. growisofs didn't work. I just went back to my desktop and used FC8 with no problems. Just being able to make a DVD would be great. Andy > > Ian

Sounded like the hard drive bashing its end-stops harder and harder. Did a reinstall and found it was still there. Fell back to F10 and am about to skip ahead to F12. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org | |
