I run rh9 with gnome and xcdroast does all the burning I need. C'mon Phil, mkisofs and cdrecord are great for scripts but not much help to someone who has "no idea where to start". As for the scsi emulation....kudzu should take care of that. Joshua, if you use gnome like me then install xcdroast from the rh9 cd (can't remember which one) by logging in as root and issuing the commands. # mount /dev/cdrom # rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/xcdroast-0.98a13-4.i386.rpm If you run KDE as your desktop then there is a really good burning gui that I just can't name right now. It was talked about heaps on NZLUG about a month ago. I meant to try it but haven't yet. -- Rob Stockley Manawatu New Zealand An avid user of Linux Visit http://www.linux.org
