cd/dvd burner? k3b for kde4?

[jan37]

I cannot seem to find any cd /dvd burner listed in the apps of the 2009.1 live cd.
thanks

Hi again, jan37,

I can double-check, but I don't think that K3b comes as part of the Live CD. (If it were included, I don't know for sure that you could use K3b from the Live CD to burn an .iso file, even if you had a second CD-RW drive in your computer).

K3b comes as one of the default apps when you install Pardus to your hard drive. I currently have K3b ver. 1.69.0.

If you're using Windows and need to burn an .iso of the 2009.1 Install CD, you can use a program such as Nero or EasyCD Creator to do that. If you need a free Windows app to burn ISOs, I've seen CDBurnerXP mentioned:

I'm sorry I can't verify this firsthand, but we don't have any Windows OSes at home. Hopefully someone here who dual-boots with Windows can help you if necessary ...

Hello,

Many thanks
As long as k3b is in the install cd  I am happy.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I have only started to use Ubuntu in the last few weeks.
This comp. was my backup and was rarely used. I was using kde for a couple of years until the comp that it was on died.
Both are (were ) old.
This one will, about once a day, suddenly drop the app (usually FF) and revert back to the desktop.
I ran "memtest" on the ram (2 sticks of 512 each) for more than 8 hours (overnight) with no errors found.
A new comp is planned for later this summer.
Thanks
