->i was.... the exact one you are, and with the same drive. i guess i was always su'ing to root, but maybe i should try the 2.6.8 kernel with xcdroast, logged in as root.<- I have also had terrible luck with cd burning in 2.6.8*. We're using 2.6.7 currently with very few xruns in jack. 2.6.8 either burned coasters or froze the computer. Matt
