I have had the same question... I guess that RH just does not like KDE... K3B is really the only alternative out there that compares to the offerings on windows. This is what I did: 1. goto www.freshrpms.net 2. install apt 3. add the other sources that are available to /etc/apt/sources... 4. run apt-get update 5. run apt-get install k3b they have a lot of stuff available; like making mp3 work again... Mplayer (that can actually play most of the movie files that you have/download) Don't forget to get your crossover plugin at codeweavers.com either... you can run most windows plugins that way (Quicktime etc...) ./sls On Tue, 20 Jan 2004, Mihai Maties wrote: > On Monday 19 January 2004 21:09, Tim and Alison wrote: > > I have a clean build Fedora 1 machine with a Lite-on CDRW. > > I have no problems playing cd's with XMMS > > When I came to burring CD's with K3b I got an error which was fixed up > > updating cdrecord to version 2.1a20 and removing the installed packages > > for CDrecord and MKISOFS. > > The problem I am having now is Riping.
