Steve, you may be able to save some heartache by using K3b rather than Xcdroast as your frontend. All I had to do was get the latest version of cdrtools, cdparanoia, cdrdao, and K3b. Installed them in that order and no problem making any data or audio cd. Now it's drag, drop & burn. I deleted the other front ends! Then if you want to do some dvd ripping and other fun stuff join their mail list and find out how. One other suggestion, some of these things which require you to be root to use them can be made to work by preceeding the app command with kdesu, assuming you are using KDE. Then you enter your root pw and the app starts as root. I'm sure someone will be able to tell us why that is a bad idea but it has made things a lot easier for me. RA
