I know that growisofs uses mkisofs, but didn't know that the present
version is 4+ years old.

Anyway, i just removed dvd+rw-tools, and k3b whines about not finding
growisofs in the PATH. What should i do? 

Joerg, out of curiosity, do you use the commandline version of your
baby, or some frontend?

@ Thomas, it would be great to have cdrtools in the repositories.
