    Probably, but make sure they're listed in the right order. It should show the order of the files, and the order doesn't really matter unless you're burning some kind of media.

      Warnings

      • Do not run another application while you are running GnomeBaker, for it can cause buffer under-run. Buffer under-run makes your CD or DVD useless unless it's a rewritable CD or DVD.
