No bug number ? - Can you give me the results of "dmesg" when this happens
and tell me what sort of IDE or SATA controller you have ?

Seen that with FC6, went away after I removed the flash plugin crap.

You assume everyone has the same experience you do - FC6 for me for example
burns CDs fine and evolution sends email (its about all that particular pile
of garbage does but thats a large upstream problem not an RH packaging one).
You might want want to investigate a better email client - eg sylpheed-claws.

I am interested in the CD one, thats something I need to know more about.
