By no means. Search freshmeat.net. I like the ECliPt Roaster for a GUI,
but much of the time I use a few simple bash scripts.

All CD-writing packages that I know use mkisofs, cdrdao and cdrecord, and
they work every time. It's just a matter of which user interface you
prefer.

I agree. None of the GUI tools worked for me either. I'v had better luck
running my own script. I downloaded and installed k3b, but it did not burn
my cds.

There are some samples of such bash scripts available on the net.

Thank you for the information.I did not know you could use simple bash
scripts to write to CD.

If possible, could you post an example(if not too much trouble).
I will google for some examples too.


Thank you,

Of course you can. Read the cdrecord and mkisofs man pages and you can
burn CD's with one-line commands.

These are what I use, they're better than I could write myself:

I renamed 'munpolta' to 'burniso' and 'mycdfs' to 'mkimg' for language
consistency on this system. Otherwise they work well

Really? I use k3b exclusively and it's doing a very good job for
