Germ Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Open a terminal, you can use konsole if you're in KDE. Type su Hit "Enter" Type root's password Hit "Enter" You are now root. Type xcdroast Hit "Enter" xcdroast will start and you can go through the setup. Be sure to add users so you don't have to be root just to burn a CD. Exit xcdroast. Exit the terminal. Start xcdroast and you should be good to go. /germ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 On a side note, K3B is IMHO nicer. But this is personal, ... in any case, if you don't like xcdroast, just be aware there are plenty of alternatives. The main thing being: burning cd's. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Justin, check out this thread http://mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=6...1646cd98d207431 it contains setup info for XCDRoast. look for my posts there & you should be able to get it up & running. also, what aRTee said has merit. K3B is another useful cd burning tool. especially if you want to burn .iso files, which you can't do in XCDRoast. word of note.....if you decide to try K3B, search the forum for some threads on how to set that up, or i (or somebody else) would be glad to help you with it. K3B can be a little tricky to set up because it involves some fstab editing depending on if your cd burner/rom is ide or scsi. nothing that somebody here couldn't walk you through, though. :wink: Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
