Author FC3 problems: 1) No STDOUT for scripts 2) k3b

When I execute a custom script from command-line on my FC3 - bash or
any other - there is no output to the screen. I have a feeling this is
totally trivial, but i've never had to configure STDOUT in any previous
RedHat version - it always defaulted to the screen for command-line
script execution - so i am entirely clueless. No mention of this in
groups. Any hints?

The second thing isn't necessarily distribution-specific: my K3B seems
flaky. I tried to generate a 4.7GB DVD iso file (backing up data files,
over samba), and several attempts failed, at different stages of the
process (at 4.3GB, at 1MG, etc.), with an error. Anyone having similar
problems, and how to solve them? (Can't be a buffer underrun can it? -
i'm not writing to some buffer-sensitive device -- just to my
harddrive. Weak hardware? (this is on an old PII-450, 256MB Ram)).

TIA

From; http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/

"And once again, do keep in mind that 4.7GB are salesman's GB, i.e.
1000^3 and not 1024^3. If translated to "real" GB, DVD±R[W] capacity is
not larger than 4.4GB!"
