What is the best GUI CD filesystem writing sw avial that runs under KDE, either: 1) KDE specific, or 2) not KDE specific.
Also: What is the best backup sw to backup a HD onto a CD? (I haven't looked this up yet, myself.) Ie, I want to write a directory tree onto the CDs. (Like for doing data backup.) For CD-R & CD-RW media. You can make suggestions about for writing audio CDs also, but I really want to know about filesystem writers now. This needs info about how to support IDE interface cd writers - so, what needs to be known about drivers? (I remember something about needing an IDE to SCSI interface fake layer?) Below is some info I found, but I don't know anything more about them than this. ======================================================================= apt-cache search cd | grep kde kdebase-audiolibs - KDE audio libraries amd modules for kdebase apt-cache search cd | grep write cdcontrol - A parallel burner that allow you to write to one or more CD-Writter at once gcdmaster - Create audio CDs and write them in disk-at-once mode xcdroast - X based CD-writer software ======================================================================= http://linux.tucows.com/mmedia/cd_burners_rating.html 4 Likely candidates: KreateCD 1.1.0 - 5Cows This is a front end for cdrecord, cdparanoia and mkisofs.
