[newbie] xcdroast help

[Heather Reed]

Hi all I have just installed xcdroast (together with cdrecord). When I try to open it, I get a message telling me to configure as root, but no info as to what to configure where or how. I can't seem to get to a help file though, and am totally confused :-(( I have looked at various howtos on the net, but they are way above me I'm afraid. Can anyone out there give me, or point me to and idiots guide (and believe me, in this I am an idiot :-))? I am running 8.2, and have a memorex IDE rewriter installed, which is being picked up by harddrake OK. it is my only CD drive, and I hate having to reboot into windows (grrrrr) to burn CDs. Alternatively, a pointer to other CD burner apps that might do the job as well and be easier to get going (if such things exist) would do just as well. Any help would be gratefully received. Ta muchly Heather
