Hi all,
This is my first post so please excuse mistakes....

I have downloaded "gnomebaker" to install and have unzipped it.

But what do I do next?

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Gnomebaker is not developed anymore since 2008. You shouldn't use it at all. I would recommend to use a different program for CD/DVD burning, like Brasero, Xfburn or K3B. These programs can easily be installed using the Software Center and, IIRC, Brasero should already be installed by default.

for just about any application, a distro like Ubuntu will have a solution available with the package manager. When starting out with Linux, I recommend following a simple rule---"If possible, always install new SW with the Package manager."

use K3B
it is in the repos

the gnome tools have been having "problems" lately
so i would go with the qt based k3b
