Don't know what came through your Kmail/whatever, but the following is what 
shows in the archives:
.............................................................................................................................

So you understand I'm at the early learning stage:
In the last few days I have expunged MS from the PC on my LAN and installed 
Debian.  Being very happy with my Mac, I went with KDE to allow a somewhat 
similar desktop.  

Now it's time to backup what I've done before I screw it up :-)  so I also 
installed K3B to use optical media.  In my trials today I've had no problem 
creating and restoring a data CD,  but I can't get K3B to do anything with 
DVDs.  I've tried DVD-R and DVD-RW, and even different brands of each 
(Verbatim, hp and imation).  I hate to use umpteen CDs when one or two DVDs 
will do the trick :-(

I have a Benq 32x10x40 CD R/W in an internal bay (hdc) and a Pioneer DVD-RW 
DVR-103 in another internal bay (hdd).  If I load a DVD with contents K3B 
lists what is on it and if I load a blank DVD it says it knows that also.  

I don't know if this is a linux issue or a K3B issue and I'm not sure where to 
go from here.   Error text below.  
output.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thank you,
