Time for some real SuSE experts to chime in -- I only use it on my work office machine (I use Mandrake in my lab/shop and at home) so I'm not very experienced with it. FWIW, cd writing worked for me (with a bog-standard Lite-On cdrw) first time and every time with SuSE 9.2. I can't see anything that would keep it from working for you.

Did you ever try burning from the CLI?

I've got a hunch that when I did the original install Yast worked around my improper hardware connections and configured the system accordingly. Now that I've corrected the hardware, even though Yast has supposedly recognized the new hardware and reconfigured, I think maybe there are still remnants of the original configuration which cause the KB3 Gui to fail. If you or anyone knows which files or entries I can check I think that may be worth a try. In the mean time, I've got another clean box that needs to have an OS installed, (I'm trying to decide between SuSe 9.2 and Fedora Core3) If the burner works on the clean install, I may back up my data and just wipe the whole drive and start again. Thanks again for all the help Regis
