I used to use xcdroast with no problems (and cdrdao for audio CDS) but since 10.2 I have been pointed at K3B, which seems very iffy at best. First I do not run KDE or Gnome, and the way in which k3b keeps jammering about integration to some non-existent system is irritating. Worse is that it does not always work. Today it burnt the CD but then it froze when verifying. the CD is OK, but I could not even get k3b to quit afterwards. Is there an alternative software base to burn data CDs? One that does not want KDE or Gnome? ==John ffitch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If xcdroast works for you, why stop using it? The latest 10.2 build in the repositories seems to be 0.98alpha 15-80... is there a reason you stopped using it? I haven't used it in years, but... I assume it still works the same as it used to. Was a very reliable program. I'm a K3B fan,, but I use KDE as my WM and it's nicely integrated into everything. Never have any issues with it at all.
First I do not run KDE or Gnome,
So.. what do you use as a WM? Or CLI only? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
xcdroast does not work; it links to wodim and then fails ==John ffitch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You can use 'cdrecord' - it is console cd recorder. And it doesn't want any wm. -- WBR, Dmitry. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Now 'cdrecord' is only a symlink to wodim. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Which works very good I might add.

I have a little script called "woohoo" which goes like this... [root@wheatgrass ~/bin]-> woohoo filename.iso Here is my script... of course my DVD/CD-RW is tethered to /dev/hdc ############_Cut_Below_This_#################### #!/bin/sh # /usr/bin/wodim -v -eject dev=/dev/hdc $1 ############_Cut_Above_This_#################### The other cool thing about this is that with no arguments to the above script I can put a DVD disk in and burn a DVD iso with no additional flags or command args.

============ Have you taken a look at "bashburn"? It's a shell/terminal cd burning tool. Certainly not the prettiest, but may be just what you are looking for, if everything else is working it uses. http://bashburn.sourceforge.net/ Regards, Lee I seem to be finding more things like this, since using xfce4! ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
