SLUG:
Does anyone know why "Fixating" a "CD-R write" (closing the disk)
causes the computer to crawl to a stop (causing the mouse pointer on
the X windows system to become a black X) as I write the CD-R (or RW)
in linus in a virtual console - while the "gnome system monitor"
fails to show any noticeable change to the CPU usage, the "memory used"
does drop when the write is complete. (windows users friends of mine
HAVE observed the same thing, in a different way)
At first I thought it might be the computer calculating the directory
structure, but the "directory structure" must already be in the iso image
or we wouldn't be able to mount and browse the iso image.
