Completely confused.
'Slow burn' recommended by everyone re. burning ISOs to live CD. Cases in point:
Fedora 11 and Linux Mint 7. Plus Ubuntu Karmic pre-release etc.
Best CDs to write to? Utter el-cheapos. Ten cents each.
Worst results? Using K3b with CD-RW at 4x. Hopeless.
K3b tosses expensive CD-RW as dodgy. With slow burn. Tonight, K3b claimed, 'SUCCESS!' with burning Linux Mint 7 Live/Install to CD. But it was full of errors and wouldn't boot....
Best results?
El cheapo CD using Brasero burning at auto/high speed!! Bootable and good.
What amazes me is that top-end CDs and DVDs spinning at high revs buzz like crazy becos the corporate writing on the disc unbalances them.
Hope that's good news.
