ouibouy · 03-31-2003, 02:14 PM

hey...

i'm using redhat 8.0 and am tryin' to find an easy to use cd burnin' program....

i've tried cdrtoaster...which i can't quiet figur out...sucks that you can't just dropp files into it

what would be perfect is a NERO clone...does one exist...somethin' graphicall and pretty...well not nessasaly pretty but....what ever

other programs i've tried to use just don't install properly

so if any one out there has any suggestions...im open to try anything

Eclipt Roaster is not too bad, I guess, even though
I had troubles getting the more recent development
versions to run. The latest stable, however, should
be fine.

It's a Python-GTK frontend for the standard tools :)

Cheers,
Tink

from my eroaster/doc/INSTALL
Installation notes:

You need the following packages in order to use ECLiPt Roaster:

- python >= 1.5.2
- gnome-python (cvs version later than 2000-01-23)
(I've made RPMS available at
ftp://eclipt.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/projects/eroaster/)
- mkisofs (available at ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/)
- cdrecord (available at ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/)

Is gnome-python installed on your box? What version?

Cheers,
Tink

A short time ago MasterC gave me this tip:

Simple and very effective

Not quite a GOOEY though ;)

Well, let's go back one step, and do it
more slowly... as for the other two links,
I don't think you need to worry about those,
I take it for granted that RH comes with them.

Code:

rpm -qa | grep -i python

Could you please post the output of that
here?

Hey Tinkster, who cares about gui if commandline is far more effective ?

If you use KDE:
http://www.k3b.org

This is by far the best cd-burning program I've used under Linux, compares quite well to Nero Burning Rom.

Watch out with Red Hat 8.0 though, you can't install the latest version, it requires KDE 3.1 but 0.7.5 works like a charm.

Hey Bruno,

he who asks for a GUI tool? ;)
Btw, jetblackz' tool doesn't fit
everybody's needs/setup, and I doubt
this fellow wants to learn scripting, too :)

doesn't RH 8.0 have XCDRoast on the install disks?

check your package manager (forgot what RH calls it) to see if you have it.

or try HERE

Yes it does, but the version of XCDRoast that ships with RH 8.0 is "broken" (something with non-root mode if I remember correctly), and XCDRoast isn't nearly as good as K3B!
But if you insist on using XCDRoast then get the latest rpm from http://www.xcdroast.org/
