It depends on the CD-writer whether TAO results in burnt CDs that can be read with "cat /dev/cdrom > image.iso" or "md5sum /dev/cdrom" without getting I/O errors at the end. Even with I/O errors, all files can still be error-free. But the MD5 checksum most likely is different. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+kanR0iMVcrivHFQRAiP1AJ95brZmpRS4zEZTN//YO2jbSxyiuQCfYnJL h8SD/5V22qQnzyB6upHmJYA= =2h8G -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
