what is being abandoned is K3B

[landon kelsey]

K3b is a piece of work

I have 2 CD/DVD burner drives
Plextor $120+
Sony $50

Fedora doesn't like the Plextor...I guess

after downloading F10 for 9.5 hours, I tried to burn a ISO-DVD

I wasted 4 blanks making 3 final copies.

The Plextor would get an error and the hang K3B

I'd kill it with kill -9 and then the drive would be locked up and even hung the eject

command.

I had to reboot to open the drive

and even once the "bring things back" facility had the #$%& thing running again.

OH YES! an old error reported forever

When making an ISO DVD, the verify write facility still doesn't work 

even on the Sony drive. It says "couldn't find a DVD to verify.

Make things easy: if there is an error:

(1) release the drive announcing ithat the DVD is no longer blank!
(2) eject the DVD
(3) terminate all processes and subprocesses that stay running(i.e. die and go away)
(4) work on the program some more
