There are several CD burning applications (front ends) available on Mandrake 9.1. I'm not sure about Mandy 9.0. Try looking a K->Applications->Archiving->CD Burning. If you can't find any on your install, look for them in RPMDrake. If they aren't on your distro CDs, then you can always search for RPMs for K3B, GnomeToaster, and GCombust.

Oh, and yes, it's as easy as drag-and-drop, the apps should be able to search for and configure your drrive setup appropriately.

I can't burn CDR/CDRW in linux. The applications I have are Eroaster, G-combust, Gnome-toaster and X-CD-roast.

I tried, but the CD burner just ejected the CDR and application failed.

Try using K3b. It's very friendly, drag and drop, and has an automatic configuration tool.

please tell me where to download its RPM file.

Search for it on www.rpmfind.net Then select your distro and download it!

Let your fingers do the commanding. Mice are for cats and mousetraps.

its art. you may need work for two weeks before it works. This was not a good answer but it may help you to find right attitude.

After I have been studying for two weeks for next, I may give you some true answers.

Windows is better in doing cd recording, i use Nero burning ROM.

No way! Want to compare coaster numbers, huh?

Windows is the best in doing this,
Nero is the best choice.
Multisessions CD, CD-copying, soundtrack converting, virtual CD etc., all can be done .

I see you've added a few lines to your CD burning tutorial. fancypiper.
I've still got the original from that "other" board. Thanks again.

futurist - Nero-Windows locks up your box just to burn a CD. In Linux-cdrecord you can surf the net,play a game or even compile a program at the same time.
