Today Gene Heskett did spake thusly:
Greetings;
I'm trying to salvage an XP installs data here folks, by mounting their
drive on my box & making a couple of dvd's from the stuff they woul;d
like to save. Windows is hosed, apparently by an Activision game they
got for Christmas and installed on the 29th of Dec. Anything that uses
IE, which is everything, is now hosed.
Providing they're running an up-to-date version of XP...
Quickest solution to that is to grab the IE7 installer and run it, that'll
repair anything that's broken.
Second quickest - go to "Add/Remove Programs" in control panels and then
choose "Remove Internet Explorer" if it's available - this'll
automatically restore IE6 on their system
Third quickest. If they have an XP disk, they can do a repair install
I know that's not the answer you're after, but it might save a lot of
hassle for them.
I made a tmpdir on my 160GB, root, and copied stuff off till I had a dvd
full, minus about 200MB, but when I try to start the burn, I'm getting
the WAH WAH's from k3b.
The killer error message seems to be:

I've allowed superlong pathnames, and the attendant mkisofs command, after
listing everything that will go into the dvd, is this:

in the k3b device display. I thought they all could do DVD+R's?
