CD burning software

[stephan schutter]

Well, Alex... I did install "@everything" and I am still prompted for 
the root password. can I manually run kudzu? can kudzu run like a 
service and auto detect hardware changes as they happen (mice, network, 
usb devices)? These things seem to have a lot of trouble; a cd of floppy 
get mounted and then can not be unmounted because it is "busy" or what 
ever... we can not expect users to respect the unmount first rule... 
they will simply yank the floppy or USB storage device. Can you immagin 
how angry a user at home will be if he/she can not get the CD out of the 
drive (I know there is a lazy unmount option, but I am one in a milion)? 
  These things occur most frequently when items are mounted with 
alternate credentials.
