[Eug-lug] CD/DVD burning from Knoppix ?

[horst]

Bob and Ben --thanks for feedback :-)

Yes, I had found K3b later on (not sure if I should blame it on the new 
'progresive' lenses I am supposed to wear all the time, or the fact that 
that I had forgotten to start knoppix with fromhd=/dev/... )-:

BTW, K3b also has a Verify option, and it works: the only file that failed 
verification was my persistent home-directory-image --which obviously 
changed between writing CD and re-reading :-)

But I do like the idea of putting the command line stuff in a script 
--though cdrecord has a pretty good documentation, preserving and 
documenting what leaned once makes sense. Pretty slick how you merged 
options in the script with cmd-line arguments !
