7. Adding a front end for X

You can now install a package like "X-CD-Roast" which runs in the X-window system.

7.1. X-CD-Roast

The version of X-CD-Roast supplied with Debian Linux 3.0 r0 ("Woody") is cdroast 0.98+0 alpha.Some features are not yet implemented (including multi-session CDs). The version in "testing" does support multi-session CDs. This software did not destroy any of my test CDs.

You can install xcdroast 0.98+0alpha using apt-get:

athlon:/home/chris# apt-get install xcdroast

For information on how to download the "testing" version of cdroast, see the "APT HOWTO" at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html. This document explains how to use apt on-line (broadband connection recommended), or locally with downloaded files (for dial-up connections).

7.2. cdrtoaster

Install using apt-get install cdrtoaster.

7.3. gcombust

Install using apt-get install gcombust.

7.4. GnomeToaster

Support for multi-session and CDRW blanking. Nice features but I found it problematic to install. Install using apt-get install gtoaster.
