Normally any burning program will have an option to 'burn an image', or similar. It's not usually as obvious as a plain burn, but tucked away in a menu. Now you know what you are looking for you should find it easily enough. One thing. Most burning applications give you the option to verify after the burn. What this means is that it calculates a checksum of the original file, then compares with the checksum of the burned file. It's a good idea to get into the habit of always setting the verify when it is available to you. Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?
