The "bs" thing sounds right ;-) Though I feel it's a bad thing not to be able to duplicate a cdrom in an easy way. I'll check out cdrdao (mentioned elsewhere) too.

So I guess I check out cdrdao and that kde prog. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11 ++ FreeBSD 5.3 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja
