Same with CD's by the way, they mark off bad areas up to a point. Which is why making copies of CD's that are themselves copies sometimes does not work, since you inherit the bad track markings from the copied CD plus your new ones, and there is a limit to how much of a CD can be marked "bad". -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
