I tried to use for awhile (worked fine in in Mandrake 8.1) I also had the problem where my CDROM was not recognized. I left XCDRoast, opened Gcombust, and was happily burning a CD in about 5 minutes. Like Kaj said, there are other front-ends to use. I would still like to make XCDRoast work but I'm saving working on it until later when I have more time.
