I have many expertise in your department of CD/DVD writing. in my opinion the best app for linux CD/DVD writing is K3b. You can download it from K3b.org. Its dependancies are, well lots of work but I will lay it out for you. First you need to download from livna.org and freshrpms.net. I dont suggest you use sourceforge if you are new, it drives me nuts sometimes. If my memory serves me correctly I got my deps from livna.org and freshrpms.net Create a folder called K3B then create 4 sub folders called Flac libid3 id3 libmad download the following into the respective folders. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/k3b/k3b-0.11.6.tar.bz2 save to K3B Then go to Livna.org and download libmad limad-devel Then to freshrpms.net amd download libid3tag [freshrpms] libid3tag-devel [freshrpms] id3lib[freshrpms] id3lib-devel[freshrpms] flac-devel[freshrpms] Cool! open a terminal [right click open space on your desktop and select new terminal] Then type su - [switch user root] cd to the K3b dir and then into each dir to install packages. You must first install the main package then the devel. rpm -ivh pacackage.rpm rpm -ivh package-devel.rpm If you get a dependancy issue probably just the one asking for the other, just read the error message it will tell you. If so then use the nodeps I did have force one them I cant remeber which just add the --force option after the --nodeps option rpm -ivh --nodeps package.rpm Once all the packages are installed then cd .. back to the k3b dir. run bunzip k3b-0.11.6.tar.bz2 then tar -xvf k3b-0.11.6.tar cd to the new dir k3b-0.11.6 and run ./configure make make clean [optional] make install restart X and you should have the Icons in you menu or you could just type k3b in a terminal. If you use gnome the you may want to login to KDE and run k3bsetup2 but I have never needed to! Good luck if you need assistance please shout!. Chad
