First let me apologize for ending this to both the main discussion list and to the application discussion list. It is probably best for the application list but it gets so little traffic I don't know if it is monitored much. The issue is that I tried to burn a slackware .iso to a dvd in a usual manner and after a short time, the Fujifilm DVD+R was ejected wih an error. I don't know what the error detail means and was hoping someone could tell me what actually went wrong? IOW, is there any useful information in the error code that could help me prevent such problems in the future (I have had problems like this before sometimes)?
