--Please note, I have been keeping (loose) track - and only get 8-10 rewrites from name-brand CDRW's before they go bad (read errors.) This is Memorex 12x, mind you - and I take care to keep my media clean and in cases. CDR's seem to last longer in terms of being *usable*.

--I use cdrecord's blank=all mode when rewriting, as well. Could be that the rw's are more sensitive because Knoppix is compressed, but that's just a guess.

Thanks!

Trying to figure it out before I dl it. Looks great!
