However, after a few teething problems (such as it kept putting trusted programs inside something called a “sandbox” and kept disconnecting me from the internet) it all seems to be working ok so far. Yikes! :o Thanks for the info, but I’ve now already installed CIS 4 and idiotically didn’t keep a copy of CIS 3. Now, speaking of CIS4, it doesn’t work more or less with sp2/sp3 then with anything else: it plainly does not work at all, and you should either wait (and see…) for CIS 5, either and again have saved a local CIS 3 copy. If you have a sp2 cd, and do not want to get in trouble (even if limited with a dsl/cable connexion), you should definitely have an offline copy of this large download or, better, make your own cd according to this “new” standard. that Windows does not support sp2 anymore, and it’s not Windows fault, everyone has been warned since a long time. The sweetest taboo.You should have known better, i.e.
Until came ImgBurn - which, yes, works in Wine. In Ubuntu the situation on the matter is for now similar to that in Windows of some years ago when Nero ruled unrivaled. One is not bound to give a second try to one peace of software that crashes or gives an unreadable disk the first time. (Could it be related to their k-related condition and my Xfce DE?) My own experience with the most recommended Ubuntu burning software (k3b, k9copy) was bad. When it comes to something like creating a DVD movie disk from DVD movie files present on the hard drive, it seems to me that I would have to firstly create the ISO and then burn it, which involves using more hard drive space and more time. They are all said to work, but then at a more basic level (create ISO, burn them, etc.). I have looked at AcetoneISO, Brasero, and K3B (which many recommend) but they seem more limited than the mentioned Windows apps. They should be discussed against reliable benchmarks set by well confirmed software: Nero, and lately ImgBurn (and maybe also CDBurnerXP) in Windows. Burning software is good until it is proved otherwise, which usually doesn't take to long. I have read along the years a lot of good comments on all sort of Windows programs that after a while prove not to worth trying - at the expense of my time, lost data and nerves.
Also, a lot of people, in Linux as well as in Windows, seem to take it very lightly when evaluating burning software. Evaluating burning programs is difficult: it takes more time to find how things really are, and meanwhile the errors are very unpleasant.
