Cannot execute programs

DVD-RAM Tools
Recently installed a Samsung SH-S182M cd/dvd burner which works great with K3B, even the lightscribe feature. Thought I'd try the DVD-RAM capability for home directory backup. If you are using DVD-RAM, what tools are you using to format and burn the media? Have udftools loaded which includes mkudffs and have jus... 12 Mar 2007 13:39

Maybe if you're in the US and affected by this: How did you get your Mandrake to 'spring forward'? Or did you just get into the BIOS (ewww) and bump it forward? ... 25 Mar 2007 23:42
