It looks as though the burner is set up correctly (it needs to be scsi-emulated to burn). If that's so, it's just a matter of sorting out the software. Preferences differ on this, but I know XCDRoast best. In that you have to use the setup to enable it to see the drive - and I think that has to be done as root - but this is a once only operation. After that you should be able to use it as user. You use the 'master tracks' to select the files you want to burn. If burning audio is your concern you will have to ask more questions once you have got it working. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Run K3B (CD Burning Program) as root and it will configure your CD drive for you. Cheers Jason Owen Berio wrote: Mandrake 9 apparently recognizes the presence of my CD burner. But how do I use it?

Re: [newbie] stalled on installing CD burner
I downloaded downloaded k3b.0.8.1 from the sourceforge. During the installation I got the following message. I aborted the installation at that point deciding to inquire about the message and weather I should proceed or not?

Anne Owen, if you care about my advice : don't install K3b. Reason : by default it changes your /etc/fstab file, adding some more entries, thus messing the whole thing up. Although it seems possible to avoid that, I agree completely with Tom Brinkman who said something in the line of : anyone who writes an application that changes important system files should be taken out and shot. BTW : there are heaps of other, less agressive GUI's for burning CD's. To mention a few : XCDroast, Gcombust, Gnometoaster, CDBakeoven etc., etc..

I think you for got to give us the message g However, it is always better to use Mandrake rpms if you can, and in this case the rpm should be on your disks. Try software installer, list all alphabetically, and you should find it. Using software installer (there is a command line utility that does the same thing, called urpmi) ensures that if any dependencies exist you can get them at the same time, and everything gets put in the right place.

Sory Kaj, but my advice is the opposite. k3b is a very good burner with features not available in other GUI based burning apps. K3b does offer to set up your fstab file for you. But you do not have to say 'Yes'. Set up your fstab by hand and k3b will fine. Since it will be in the main distro in 9.1 lots of people are going to be using it. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I didn't allow it to alter mine, but could someone please spell out exactly what goes wrong if you do allow it? I have to say that I think much is down to preference, and I still like XCDRoast, but it is certainly true that there are things K3b does that are difficult or impossible in other apps.
