when you select the iso it automatically chnages it back to cd, you then hav eto tell it to burn to dvd. It's so stupid grrr..

Is there any decent open source burning software, which does everything?
I would love to get rid of nero. I'm now pretty much entirely open source a few freeware and windows.
But never seen a good opensource burner.

The best CD/DVD burning software I've used is Gnomebaker. It's Free and open source and licensed under the GPL. However, it only runs on Linux and other Unix-like environments.

Its main feature is to burn stuff but it can build images for you. So you'd just tell it what to select from a folder and it can make an ISO image out of that and then burn it.AcidHell2 said:

Sounds interesting. So someone who has a Linux box on a Windows network or is able to transfer files between a Windows PC and a Linux box could use that then?BillytheImpaler said:
Just I'm thinking about building a Linux box with some spare components I have lying around so any Linux software hints I'm very receptive to. Thinking of dual-booting Fedora and Ubuntu to begin with. I was thinking of getting an OEM version of Vista but then the licence would apply to the Linux box motherboard. A bit of a problem since I'd want to migrate Vista to my other PC as and when Vista is good enough to be used as my day to day OS.

I don't see why not. To access the Windows share you'd install Samba, create a mount point using something likeMarcLister said:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ntserver
then mount the network drive with
sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=usernamegoeshere,password=passwordgoeshere //ntserver/download /mnt/ntserver
Your distro will probably have a GUI tool for this as well.
EDIT: If you wanted it to automount at boot you could follow these instructions: linky

Sounds cool. Will look this up in Fedora/Ubuntu when I get set-up. And username/password are my Windows details?BillytheImpaler said:I don't see why not. To access the Windows share you'd install Samba, create a mount point using something like

Yes sir, if you've enabled password protection on the share on your Windows machine.MarcLister said:

LOL. What programs has it ripped off then?BoomAM said:That imgburn program looks like a rip off.
Just looked at the screenshots for it, looks like its ripped off several apps almost identically in GUI design. Wouldnt be suprised if it was more than the GUI as well!..
