It's not just a Debian thing. It's a licensing issue with certain parts of the code. Debian will only include code that conforms to certain licenses in their 'main' branch. 'contrib' and 'nonfree' are where all the not-so-free goodies live. It is possible there is a contrib version of the real cdrtools package, I haven't dug in to find out. This issue has existed for some time in many distros. Back when I started using linux, Redhat shipped with the 'pico' text editor. 'pico' has seemingly fallen off the planet since, because the major distros had issues with the licensing from WU. Hence the GPL friendly 'nano' was born and is included in just about every distro. > I'll give this a whirl hopefully tonight. Good luck. Hopefully in the future BR burning will become a little more simple. Brian
