So, it seems I'll have to switch back to Edgy, then.... Another thing I now remembered: Feisty fixed the problem I had with Lacie's Lightscribe support for Edgy. I guess scanning my pictures and documents mountain on my computer's side is more important than Lightscribing a DVD full of my kid's pictures.... It would be nice to have them both working, though. Any way to make it happen on Feisty before I go ahead with the downgrade ?
