[Sussex] More confusion with linux apps (nothing new there!).

[John D.]

hi list,

After more recent (and unresolved) struggles, I thought it might be 
prudent to have an up to date copy of a distro burned and ready to go, 
for when I finally loose patience with SuSE.

The download of gentoo has been fine, it "md5sums" correctly, but as 
seems usual, I'm getting lost in the jungle of apps, acronyms, jargon etc.

If I open k3b to burn the discs, select the iso to burn and hit OK 
(leaving everything else at "auto") it hangs.

Where am I likely to find the log file(s) that might tell me whats going 
on ?

regards

John D.

p.s. Oh and someone at a forum suggest that it might be sensible to try 
Kanotics as it's debian based, uses "proper debian" repositories for 
APT, plus a few other positives. Has anyone heard/tried it ???
