9.3 I used the "hard way" to get QDVDAuthor up and running ( tracking down and installing multiple pre-reqs and then building some things from source ). When I went to 10 I spent a little more time looking around and found that Packman has RPMs for QDVDAuthor on SuSE that did all the right things under YaST. I would guess FC has just as good of support. Some of the HOWTOs for QDVDAuthor take you thru the whole process and it's pretty impressive what can be done with only basic effort. But it is Beta, so save early and save often.
<br><br>The only thing I'm wanting for now is a way of accessing the LightScribe functionality. The Windoze software include with the drive requires some specific level of Win98 or one of the newer ( W2K, XP ) versions and I'm not having luck yet getting it installed under Wine. Google hasn't turned up much help but I'm hoping someone with the right skills is working on that issue as we speak.
