Using dvd burner on Windows machine
I've successfully mounted a DVD burner which lives on the W2K machine across the room from my Suse 8.2 machine, but I cannot get K3B to see it. I mounted the dvd burner to a mount point which I made, /media/windows/dvd and when I try to point K3B at it it says, "Could not find an additional device at /media/windows/dvd" Can anyone help? TIA, nick --

Sorry to say: you can't burn DVDs or CDs that way without ancilliary software. There are packages to allow a CDwriter on a linux server to be written to by any machine on a network, but I don't know about DVDs or using such techniques with Windows. Dylan
