Thanks. > I normally use Brasero to burn disks, though its principle may be a bit different than you're used to. It has a window where you collect the files you want on the disk. You tell it the maximum disk size at the start and it won't accept more files than will fit. When you twist its tail, it assembles an ISO image from the files and burns it to the disk. I've used it to burn music CDs and data disks: its acceptably fast in operation. I don't know if its available for Ubuntu because I use Fedora distros. If it is take a look at it. Martin
