[Centos] ISO's and padding once again

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I've never had a problem burning ISO's on Windows, but this time I had
to transfer the ISO's to another linux machine with a burner and use
the cdrecord instructions w/ padding.  I used to use Nero, now I use
Sonic's Record Now which I thought was the problem.
