I thought that's what it wanted, and then said "Nahh ... it > must mean a directory to use, not a whole unmounted partition. Lemme tell it > to use /tmp". Uhm, I don't know about xcdroast, but I use xcdrgtk (the gtk version of xcdroast), and in fact I've been using a alpha version for about two months now (version 0.98alpha7) with absolutely *no* problems. CD images are temporarily created/stored in /var/tmp/image (a directory i created in /var/tmp) which is the same partition as / and pretty much everything else, actually. > And when xcdroast went to mount the partition, and asked me if it should > mount the image mount point (i.e., should it mount the /dev/hdb2 partition - > since it couldn't figure out that /tmp was just a directory on an already > mounted partition), what did fumble fingers me do? I don't understand how attempting to *mount* a directory should have done any damage to your filesystem, are you sure it didn't ask you to initialize the image mount point? Anyway, if the problem was a bug in xcdroast, it appears to have been fixed during the re-write for gtk. The new gtk-based problem is impressive in regards to it's features and capabilities, incidentally. -- Steve Castellotti Systems Programmer School of Arts and Sciences, University of Pennsylvania ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements-http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug
