hi, I have Installed RedHat 8.0 in my machine and it is having IDE Samsung CD Writer. I am able to write the data in the command mode. But in GUI mode I was unable to write using koncd and cdwriter utilis which is available in the OS. Please tell me what are utilities are there to burn a cd either image or data and should be easier to use..... Thanx. & Rgds. vanith

xdroast is a nice frontend.

k3b or cdbakeoven is also a nice frontend for burning. greets struzzo

gtoaster is a really nice one too. Be aware that Eroaster does not work on redhat 8 just yet, but when it does, give that one a try. Those are my two favorites.

Get this... I was able to write once via the command line, and once using a gui, but when I reboot I get this error. Starting write at speed 4... Pausing 10 seconds - hit CTRL-C to abort. Process can be aborted with QUIT signal (usually CTRL-\). Turning BURN-Proof on Executing power calibration... Power calibration successful.
