For dvds: 'growisofs' (port), for CD's burncd (part of the distribution) or 'cdrecord' (port). These are command-line programs. cdrecord requires the use of following devices in the kernel: 'atapicam', 'scbus' 'cd' and 'pass'. More info on my FreeBSD page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/ There are several GUIs for cdrecord, e.g. k3b (KDE) and gcombust (GTK). Nautilus can also burn CDs with the nautilus-cd-burner port.

Provided this = is > the case, how can I eliminate the error in gnome? If you issue the 'mixer' command in a terminal, what kind of output do you get? It should look something like: $ mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 58:58 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 Mixer ogain is currently set to 50:50 Mixer line1 is currently set to 75:75 Mixer phin is currently set to 0:0 Mixer phout is currently set to 0:0 Recording source: mic If not, there are several things that could be wrong, and it depends on the error you get. Check that you have sufficient permissions on /dev/mixer (should be crw-rw-rw-) HTH, Roland --=20 R.F.Smith (http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/) Please send e-mail as plain text. public key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/pubkey.txt --azLHFNyN32YCQGCU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCilpiEnfvsMMhpyURAuMnAJ94JibMV2vx/bjklyi/d8VwmADMAwCgmpG5 9lJRjj8bKso1tZ8bl6mt/a4= =NoEO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --azLHFNyN32YCQGCU--
