Hi korbennn,

Can you let us know which version of PCLinuxOS you are using please.

If you are using KDE try the k3b burning app - that handles rewrites.

If Gnome - try Brassero

BUT there are lots of burning apps in the repos.

korbennn,
Are you talking about creating a liveDVD with persistance? I don't know if that could be done.

[korbennn]

I'm talking about using DVD-RW instead of a pendrive gents

I guess Puppy does that, what about PCLOS?

version: 2010.7, e17 or lxde or gnome, haven't rally decided yet

Read the stickied topic on creating a remaster for 2010. It is for DVDs as well as CDs.

Take some time to read through the how to and the responses. Creating a liveDVD of your system is easy.

That's beyond me bro but thans anyways - now running from the pendrive but won't make a tradition out of it as the sytem boots up like 8 minutes holy cow that's too much.

I just backed up my laptop's installation to a DVD, so I know it can be done.

The tutorial is in this section, called 2010 Remastering (the very first one in the list.) Follow the directions in the first post (making sure you have enough disk space to save the iso) and then burn the iso to a DVD.  Worked for me!

I'm sure you can do it!
