Which part of "you don't need it" don't you understand?

If you're not using SUSE software, please contact xcdroast or Mr. Schilling with such questions

You know, I have always appreciated your excellent help to this list. This is uncalled for. If xcdroast would write a DVD, then I would not have asked. So, let's assume that I have a SuSE 10.0 installation and I chose "Gnome" during installation and all went well--no errors.

In xcdroast (running as root since it was not compiled with non-root support) from the SuSE 10 DVD, in Create Cd>>Master Tracks>>Create session/image where I am supposed to be able to choose DVD as a Disc Type, there is no such choice--only various sizes of CDs.

Therefore, I am using software from SuSE and it doesn't work AND "I (obviously) DO need it", or something similar, to make it work.

I was simply asking for your input.

It's just that, as far as I could tell, they had tried explaining it to you already, yet you missed it or didn't understand it. Whichever, it's up to you to explain what wasn't clear, if you did not comprendo.

K3b is usable both in Gnome or KDE and if all programs needed by it are installed, DVD burning is quite simple. I haven't used XCDroast in a long time, but do it remember somewhat more confusing to use. Once acclimated to it, it's a pretty good program, but I'm not sure it's kept up as well as K3b. I'm sorry I can't be of much help with it, as I'm pretty well stuck on k3b, as many here are. Gnome programs, KDE programs are not just for the interface they were designed in, so most are as efficient working in one as the other. I just started xcdroast up and find it still at an older version. it also requires the programs you've mentioned in order to burn DVDs, else you are restricted to just CDs. Again, I like everyone else here, I suggest you use k3b for your DVD burning. regards, Lee
