Yeah, just looked around the k3b panel and I didn't
see anything about 'multisession' like the 'doze
programs have. Hum. I remember in Nero, that you had
to specify for it NOT to finalize the cd or it was a
one session cd, but nothing like that in the options
on k3b, that I can see. Oh, well. 

Another thing, with only 256mb of ram, I can only burn
about 180mb's to a disk as it uses the ramdisk
'leftover' area and that is about 180+mb. Unless I am
doing a disk to disk copy, then no problem. That is
using Knoppix as the os. I am not sure that this is
the case with an installed os or not as it doesn't use
the ramdisk the same way knoppix does.

The only way I can think of is sorta a kludge. Burn on
rw disk, then off load it to hd next time and add to
file and reburn the whole thing including the
'orginal' stuff. Like I said, a kludge, but that would
be the only way. You would have to use rw disks till
you were ready for the final copy. Oh, well, like I
have said before, Linux isn't perfect..but it is the
only thing I am using.. All copies of 'doze are gone,
and no disks to install from...with the exception of
one hd that still has 98 on it.

Nothing more is expected. 

Nothing less is acceptable!
