The Gnome that comes with RHEL 3.0 (or Tao or I assume WhiteBox) and
probably also fedora, has an automatic thing that pops up when you insert
a blank CD, a window into which you just drag files. When ready to burn,
click the "burn" icon. I haven't figured out hwo to burn an ISO image
that way, despite having found a document that tells how (it doesn't
match the program on my Tao box).
You can disable that auto-burn thing by:
RedHat icon->Preferences->CD Propertes
and unchecking the "Run command with blank CD is inserted" option. If
you want to burn an ISO image, just close that bloody Nautilus window
"cdrecord -v name-of-iso-file" on the command line.
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 ;)
I agree there. That autostart crap is annoying. Thank goodness you can
turn it off!
I can't say I disagree with you! The command-line is your friend!
(I get frustrated with windows users who would rather spend an hour clicking
away than to spend 20 seconds typing a command).
But Windows is so helpful! (tongue planted firmly in cheek) ;-)
Linux: For when you take the training wheels off!
