Just for the record, I did NOT write that!

Ouch! Could you post your findings to the devs somewhere? I don't use
linhes otherwise I'd do it myself.

Can you try with a CD (for testing purposes)

If that does work, then the wiki will need to be changed. But ... you'd
think there would be more people noticing this? IOW, are you sure you
are doing everything correctly?

I vaguely remember something about an issue with trying to burn an iso 
more than once ... but I'm not sure.

This is quickly becoming off topic for this list. You should take up any 
further issues on the approprate forum/channel or whatever for the linhes 
project.
