Hi mate, again! The following is off the Xcdroast FAQ onsite at xcdroast.org <grin> If you downloaded an ISO-image (e.g. a linux distribution) you have to copy that big file (extension should be .iso) first to an image-directory of X-CD-Roast. You specify these directories in Setup at the "HD Settings" tab. These are the places where X-CD-Roast will look for audio (.wav) or data tracks. Now you enter the "Create CD" menu and you will see your image-file displayed nicely in the "Image-Information" window. Go to "Write Tracks" -> click on "Layout tracks" tab, add your image-file, click on "Accept track layout" and finally a click at "Write tracks" will write that image perfectly to your CD-R/RW. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
