Well, for suitable values of "entirely" <g> Note that cdrecord itself is no longer in portage, due to licensing issues. The command line compatible replacement is cdrkit (forked by Debian from the last free software version, when cdrecord decided to pull an xfree86 and screw up its licensing), which includes a cdrecord symlink for full compatibility. For disk burning, in addition to cdrkit/cdrecord, k3b can use cdrdao for disk-at-once, which is what I usually do. It uses growisofs for DVD-R/RW (as opposed to +R/RW), and it uses cdrkit/cdrecord for DVD+R/RW and CDR / not/ done "dao". However, if you simply meant that k3b is just the GUI front-end, then yes, you are correct. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
