copying files to a CD

ve1drg · 11-14-2006, 09:55 AM

I am using the current version of Slackware (11) and I am trying to think of an easy way to copy files to a cd-rw cdrom disk.

I am thinking there must be a way like windows where you can drag files from one directory area to the cd. Can this be done.

I just can't think of a way right now, and I am sitting in front of the computer..

You could use K3b. You might need to download and install it but that will do what you want using the 'drag-and-drop' method.

Or if you had Gnome or KDE (desktop environments), you could use their built-in cd creation tools; basically they work like in Windows, you open up a file manager (kind of like 'Windows Explorer') then drag files to a special place/directory (Windows XP has that "burn files to cd" option). If you're using something else, like XFCE, you might need K3b or similar cd-writing application for an easy write.

K3b is a bit like Nero, except I consider it better.

Look in your Slackware 11 DVD or CD in "Extra" Install k3b from there. k3b is nice!

I got k3b, but when I try to run it, I get this:

Code:

k3b: error while loading shared libraries: libsamplerate.so.0:
 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How do I fix this?
