I haven't seen ANYONE answer you. Your question is direct and to the point and I absolutely hate it when users answer questions with vague and inadaquate replies that dont' even come close to what information your looking for. The answer to your question, as I see it, is YES... If you want to use KDE or GNOME then you can use (k3b in KDE) or (Gnomebaker in GNOME). Both do a very good job of working with DVD's of all types. (ie DVD-R DVD+R DVD+-RW etc..) as well as all the CD types. XCDroast is another generic non/gui specific app but it requires a 'nonfree' plugin type thingie 'pro-cdrecord ??' so I don't use it. Besides, the version I installed only looked for SCSI device and I have IDE optical drives.. They offered help on how to impliment ide-scsi emulation but I didn't want to do that and didn't think I should have to. If I have to make concessions just to use it, then I'll go somewhere else.. :-) Hope this helps.. mr mike.. > > > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in > the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
