I did not know that. <bashes head on keyboard> I backed up some mission
critical stuff to DvD and just let K3b do it's thing. It seemed happy,
so I was happy. Everybody happy. I proceeded to do a fresh install.
Then I tried to use those DvD's to restore and the system won't see
them. Any clues on how to get the information off?? Or, am I hosed? Ric
