Greetings,

I am now rid of Camp Bill's software on my machine. Whew......

There is one thing that I was able to do in Windows that I haven't figured
out how to do while using Linux. I'm running SuSE 8.1 with one cd-rom drive and one 48x24x48 Lite-on cd-rw. Can this be configured to be able to
drag and drop a file on my cd-rw icon on the desktop and have it be written
to a cd-rw disc...? That is one thing that I miss being able to do with ms.
I would like to be able to store rpms, tars, etc. on a cd-rw and be able to erase them at a later time. Does this all have to be done from the command
line or is there a gui that can be downloaded that will do this. I have messed around with k3b for a bit and can't seem to get it to do what I'm looking for.
Do I need to create a file system on the disk first?

Thanks,

Freestone

I dunno in KDE, but in nautilus in gnome2.2 (you won't have it yet) there is a cd-record:/// url can you drag stuff into in nautilus then burn. There is probably a kde equivalent....

try this URL for a cool cd tool
think it should do it for you
works fine for me

cool? ewwwwwwwwwww

that's not what they're after really...

No packet writing i.e. DirectCD for linux yet. However if you include UDF support you can read your CD-RW.

FYI: Hardware packet writing CDRW drives are just starting to appear on the market. Have no idea whether they will work with linux.
