ubuntu-users Digest, Vol 45, Issue 172 : Brasero troubles with Hardy ISOs

Please see my post about Brasero possibly giving invalid integrity check
errors when burning a Hardy ISO.
And I always do specify that the source is an ISO, I never "let Brasero
choose".
I think these observed problems are related, don't you?
Sorry I can't give you the specific link; I'm just new at this and having
trouble learning how to reply to a thread, or link to one of my own posts.
Anyway, what I reported is consistent with several responses like "works for
me": Yes, the burnt CD works, but Brasero _says_ it's no good.
IHTH
Jim
