Fedora Core 2 : Kernel 2.6.5-1.358 on a Dell Inspiron Laptop--
If I run k3b with a cd in the drive, it takes k3b to 'scanning for CD devices' several minutes to completely load and be ready to use. If I load k3b without a CD in the drive it loads quickly. My main problem is this; my burner is a MAT****A 24x, but k3b will only allow 8x burn speeds for CDR's. Using k3b makes linux run painfully slow. Here is what I've found so far...
