3. Installing xcdroast
3.1. Installing the package
Install the xcdroast package using apt-get.
athlon:/home/chris# apt-get install xcdroast |
During the installation process you will see a "Debian Configuration" message:
Configuring Xcdroast |
The message explains that you can make xcdroast avaiable to normal users. This makes sense if you are installing on a personal computer not connected to a network. In this case, say "Yes". Individual users must be members of group "cdrom". This is covered next. You also need to configure X-CD-Roast to allow non-root users. Details for this are in the section "Configuring xcdroast".
Do you want to use xcdroast as a normal user? Yes |
3.2. Adding users to group "cdrom"
You can skip this section if you only want allow the root user to burn CDs.
The easiest way to add users to groups is to use adduser. You should have installed the "adduser" package in the section "Preparing for the installation".
 | The commands adduser and deluser are very powerful. Follow these instructions very carefully. If you wish to use them for other purposes, read the man pages first (man adduser and man deluser). |
This command adds user "chris" to group "cdrom":
athlon:/home/chris# adduser chris cdrom |
If you need to remove a user from a group, use deluser. This command removes user "chris" from group "cdrom":
athlon:/home/chris# deluser chris cdrom |
