Hi folks,

Gentoo amd64
Gnome-light

What DVD/CD burning packages will you recommend to emerge on Gentoo
other than Gnomebaker and K3b.  TIA

That depends on the type of discs you want to make. I prefer plain old
kisofs + growisofs for data DVDs and tovid for video DVDs.

Hi,
Check "gnome-extra/nautilus-cd-burner" don't know if it's included in
gnome-light though.

Hi Rumen,

gnome-light is a very basic desktop with a few packages installed.

Application
Accessories -> Terminal
Internet -> SeaMonkey
System Tools -> Avahi Zeorconf Browser/File Browser/New Login/New Login
in a Nested Window

I have to install my needed packages to run it.


At the beginning I installed gnome-light for test only.  Later I found
it a light-weight desktop even more basic than Xfce. Dislike the full
gnome with some packages installed which I never use.  So I decide to
keep gnome-light and install manually all the needed packages.

Tks

Mainly for data burning.

Do I need both of them or only either one?  Do I need "cdrecord" as
well?

What will the correct command to emerge them?
# emerge -pv kisofs
then
# emerge kisofs
???  Will the second command line pull all necessary dependencies?

Same command to emerge growisofs?

What package will their frontend?  k3b? 

TIA

I'd guess this is a little typo: should be mkisofs. This is part of the 
famous cdrtools package. Don't know where growisofs comes from.

dvd+rw-tools. It does for DVDs what cdrecord does for CDs. Despite the
name, it is for DVD-R(W) as well as DVD+RW

If you emerge k3b with the dvdr USE flag, it will pull in all of these as
dependencies.

And I almost went to have a look at this new KDE application "kisofs"
for burning DVDs :-)

I thought Neil was plonking the OP in verbose mode and simply
miss-pelled `kissoff'.

It is the tool for burning both DVD+/-R(W), but not working well on
DVD+R(W)

I use it frequently on FC5_64.  It is for KDE but also works on Gnome. 
Before I ran command lines for burning CD/CD-R(W) until I found k3b

Whether edit /etc/make.conf

USE=".......dvdr"

then run;
# emerge --sync && emerge -avuDN world
# emerge k3b

If I'm wrong pls correct me.  Tks.

The world step is unnecessary unless K3b is already installed.

First do "emerge --info" to check whether dvdr is already set. It may be
a default, depending on your profile (it is for 2006.1/desktop). If not,
add it to make.conf and emerge k3b. Portage will take care of the rest.

Noted with tks.

Would
# emerge cdrtools
including mkisofs?


> Don't know where growisofs comes from.

I think it is the backend of k3b
