And like you, I forgot about it but didn't report it 'cause I wasn't sure if bug or whatever. I just copied over the kernel I wanted for future use. In the mean time, I recompiled the kernel with my particular customizations anyway. Oh, about DVD burning, if I download a DVD image from the Slackware site or torrent, do you just burn it with the same utility you would use for CDs? In my case, I use wodim now. cdrecord turns out to be trash onmy box now, I keep getting errors with the drive but if I use the cdrkit package with geniso and wodim, I get fine results with CDs; I haven tried DVDs yet.
