It would appear that on Thu, 13 May 2004, Fred Smith did say: > A lot of people like K3b, though I haven't yet had the chance to > play with it. > > I use X-CD Roast myself, and it mostly works pretty well. Some things > I've found a little hard to figure out, but I manage. I myself find xcdroast works pretty good. (and actually seams to be getting better) I tried kb3 once on my mandrake 9.1 and it insisted on reconfiguring some permission settings (which messed with xcdroast) AND Nothing I did could convince it that my cd-rw needed to use DAO for music cd's and RAW96R for data. attempting to burn music with in raw mode or data without using raw always causes my PC to lockup so badly that not even the alleged on/off button works. xcdroast was more flexible in that regard. ( in fact it was from figuring out xcdroast's set up choices that I discovered the existance of raw modes, and that my cd-rw used them...) Since there is only just so many times I want to have to run fsck I probably will stick with cdroast.

Ouch! Gag me with a spoon! <snicker> I couldn't put up with that automatic thing no how! I can't stand any software that starts by itself just because I popped something in the cd (one of the original reasons I decided to dislike windoze) And drag n drop is the most annoying method of starting a file copy routine I have ever experienced. I'd find it less annoying to have to type a command line string longer than some of my emails... And that's saying a lot ;) -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>> But if I actually knew everything, then I'd know I was an idiot...
