Marcia, this is maybe a two part problem, first: check your permissions in userdrake and make sure you have cdwriter as one of the groups. If not add by highlighting your user and then click edit (just in case you didn't know). Then if that doesn't fix it or if you haven't done this, go into gtoaster and click on preferences. On the tab called common which may be the first one up you will see a line called "Temp Files" , change what is in there to " /home/marcia/tmp" without the quotes and whith marcia replaced by whatever your user name is. Then at the ISO9660 tab at the bottom it shows ISO Temporary files, change that to "/home/marcia/Burn" again without the quotes and with your user name. Now that file Burn must be created in your home directory since it is not automagically made. ( I would do that first if you don't have one already). The last thing is, if you do not have the latest version (beta5) on the Gnome Toaster I would get it first as the mandrake rpm at http://gnometoaster.rulez.org/download.html#download install the beta5 as it works better and is faster. Once installed the above has to be done or redone as I recall. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
