I went and unplugged the HD thats on the same IDE chain, (It kinda sucks) and booted without X, and just started cdrecord. It works. Now the question is, was it removing the HD or running without X that fixed it. ;P Never had this problem before, too bad I can't remember what X I was running when it was working. Probably back before I added three monitors. Three monitors really* eats ram really* bad for some reason. I still don't see why it disrupts cd recording. I left the machine alone, it wasn't swapping, its not running out of RAM or cycles... Grrrr... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
