Non-fixated CDROM

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I am using alpha10 now, I have no idea what multisession would do for me,
and what it has to do with fixating.  This is becoming a way of life:
there's so much interesting stuff to do I wouldn't have time to RTFM
even if the FM had been written yet, which it hasn't.  In any event,
I've tossed the one CD that appeared to be unreadable, and located
the iso again, and burnt it.

I did find out that fixating puts a table of contents on the disk;
why that's separate from the contents themselves is beyond my ken.
I also had a quick email exchange with the author, who put me to
rights about some of my stupidies (rightfully) and was still gracious
enough to take two of my suggestions seriously.  This is also a way
of life, at least in Open Source.  I love it.
