What software are we talking about? whats it called?

Redhat9.0newbie · 08-18-2003, 12:11 AM

GnomeToaster 1.0beta6.

Yes, its quite capable of burning ISO images. but if you have problems get back to us

Okay i have an iso how do i burn it to a cd so its readable instead of and .iso?

Select the second tab on the bottom right.

Drag the iso image into the bottom window.

Select the bottom Tab

Set the options you want usally multsession off and fixate on. The recording speed the fastest your drive supports.

Then Click record.

Voila a Burned CD

if you get bored with g roaster toaster, check out the big dog - k3b!
cdrecord (command line is really good too)

see the link in my sig for more details (software page)

KDE I've found to have better stuff, but a lot of people prefer gnome.

Redhat9.0newbie · 08-18-2003, 06:45 PM

im using KDE but thats what i got for burn software already installed and it worked .... what else is there good?

leonscape · 08-18-2003, 07:01 PM

AS he said K3b is better, and if your running KDE then there is no reason to run Gnome Toaster.

Check under the System menu you might already have it.

If not:
http://ftp.kde.com/Multimedia/Audio/...1-rh8.i386.rpm

for the RPM, its for rh8, but its the latest I cound find.

Theres also KreateCD and a few others as well.

Look through
http://apps.kde.com/rf/2/latest?sid=...4d55b1f6285cf3

for some Ideas.

Okay thanks now i have another question thats sorta off subject. I have some apps that i want to get rid of like some of the extra mail clients and some other things. how do i go about doing that?
Thanks

rpm -e thepackagetoremove

But Redhat uses correct me, I switched a long time ago.

Redhat9.0newbie · 08-18-2003, 07:37 PM

Thanks i have just two more unrelated questions.

1. how do I install .tar program files?
2. do you know anywhere else to get isos beside linuxiso.org becuase it seems to be down.

leonscape · 08-18-2003, 07:47 PM

Depends on the program.

There is three types of tarballs (mainly three) tar -- tar.gz -- tar.bz2 . Too extract them

tar -xvf thefile.tar
tar -xvzf thefile.tar.gz
tar -xvjf thefile.tar.bz2

Will extract the tarball, inside there should be a file called INSTALL and or README.

It usually goes
./configure
make
make install

What Iso's are you looking for?
