I had to chuckle & Bry's note... not much left, huh.  Then I come down to 
yours & realize I've got company.  My problem is partly a CD-R drive which is 
starting to become a little flakey.  I  can burn an ISO to CD w/o any fuss 
but can't seem to burn a CD-RW to save my used-to-be-sizeable you-know-what.  
I have an IDE --> USB converter cable on which I would hook one of two CD/DVD 
burners and that, too, has gone south on me. :-\ <LOL>  Guess I'm going to 
have to burn DVDs & CD-RWs on my rarely-used (because it has XP on it)  
desktop box.

I have also noted something else of possible interest, speaking of CD drives:  
since I installed the first Linux distro --Caldera Open Linux 1.2 (or maybe 
1.3) some years ago up to the present, Linux seems to be incredibly hard on 
CD drives. 
1.  A brand new HP box started giving trouble w/installation & reading of any 
Linux distro within just a few weeks of purchase, but had no problems w/W95 
or W98SE or stuff.  
2. A brand new Toshiba box had to have a new CD-R drive installed fairly soon 
after I started mucking w/Linux on it --my son now has that box running 'Doze 
and has had no trouble w/the drive in two or three years.  
3. My lastest HP box is just over two years old & has run Linux most of its 
life.  It is now telling me it needs the 2nd replacement drive.  I figure 
once is chance.  Twice is coincidence.  Three times is establishing a 
pattern.
