[nycbug-talk] A problem of the nautilus-cd-burner in FreeBSD R5.3

[Daniel Gonzalez]

I'm using 5.3-RELEASE also but I can't duplicate the trouble. I did 
notice that I used the default/auto partitioning scheme during the 
installation and /var is only allotted 250M. How large will the files be 
that you're trying to burn?. I don't know if I explained that clearly 
but here's what I get from df -m

dgonzo@~: cat /etc/fstab

/dev/ad1s1d             /var            ufs     rw              2       2

Hope that helps. I'm relatively new to BSD (former Slackware user). For 
what it's worth, I've always had better luck using K3B. I don't know 
what your desktops requirements are, but it seems more intuitive to me.
