Re: [newbie] xcdroast help
I tried to use for awhile (worked fine in in Mandrake 8.1) I also had the problem where my CDROM was not recognized. I left XCDRoast, opened Gcombust, and was happily burning a CD in about 5 minutes. Like Kaj said, there are other front-ends to use. I would still like to make XCDRoast work but I'm saving working on it until later when I have more time.

Others are Gcombust, Kreatecd, Koncd etc. etc... Those frontends are like mazes, but in the end youll find your way... Actually, it's not very hard to use cdrecord-commands, take a look at the man-page One important thing, though : all IDE burners must be "faked" to the kernel as SCSI-ones. (And it doesn't harm to do the same thing to the CD-reader as well). To do that, you must add an append-statement to /etc/lilo.conf, like image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=" hdx=ide-scsi devfs=mount " vga=791 read-only where x in the append-stanza is your actual IDE-drive, in my example hdc is the "master" on the second IDE-bus. Then, save the file, and run "lilo'" as root. Finally, run : cdrecord --scanbus to see if the burner is there. HTH Kaj Haulrich Denmark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] xcdroast help
Log out of your user account and log back in as root. Open up xcdroast and configure. The most complicated thing is when you set the path. The last tab in configuration is called options or something, but it's where you set permissions for the user accounts, if you're the only user give yourself all the permissions and you won't have to go back to root to change things.

A few tips, please note that I may use the wrong terms as I use it in Swedish. Anyway, after starting xcdroast as root go to settings (topmost button to the left) and the tab about diskdrives (third tab) Here you should specify a directory for storing the disc images you create before burning them. Next go to the last tab Users and enter your normal username and check as many of the options below as you like before you click "change Non-Root configuration". After that, you can logout root and start it as a user. As for details on how to burn and setting up the cd burner, I can't help you.

basically, you need to run it as root and set what users can do with it.. chose "setup" then go through and set all the various elements.. in particular the "users" select your username and anyone elses that should be able to use it. and set what they can do... once you finish, save the configuration, then go back and run it as your username.. all should work fine. rgds Frank -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Heather ReedSent: Wednesday, 5 June 2002 7:41 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [newbie] xcdroast help Hi all I have just installed xcdroast (together with cdrecord).
