I second that, I am using cdwrite to write CDroms under linux. One time I
forgot to stop my UUCP newsfeed, and I got about 6 MB compressed news
deliverd to my system while writing a CD. When inn started reading the
news I was shure the CD was gone, but it had no influence on the
cdwriting. I have had a Screensaver doing more harm to a cdwriting session
under Windwows 95 than linux ever have given me..
