The CDW application doesn't work for me.

How do I burn CDs in DSL? I had Puppy Linux installed on my hard drive and had to switch to something else because I couldn't get the CD burner to work. Right now, the only reliable way I have to burn CDs is to use Windows, which is what I'm trying to get away from. Don't tell me I need to find a new distribution. The CD burner did work in Fedora Core 1, but I left that distribution for other reasons. If I need to find a different distribution for burning CDs, please let me know which one. I'm not going back to Fedora, because it takes too long to install (unlike Puppy and DSL), and the multimedia on the web (like youtube.com) wasn't working.

Selected output from cdrecord -scanbus:

scsibus0:
cdrecord.mmap:
0,0,0 0)'OEM' 'CD-ROM 48SSB' "1.20' Removable CD-ROM

scsibus1:
1,0,0 100)'HP' 'CD-Writer+ 8290' '1.3C' Removable CD-ROM

PLEASE DON'T ASK ME FOR THE REST OF THE OUTPUT OF THE COMMAND! I couldn't find a way to cut and paste, and I don't know how to do a screen capture.

The 48SSB is the CD-ROM. The HP CD-Writer+ 8290 is the CD burner.

cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=4 driveropts=burnfree /path/*.iso

Highlight what you want to copy, go to where you want to paste it, middle click (three button mouse) or simultaneous right-left click (two button mouse).

You don't need different distros just to burn stuff (or view content online, either -- that's all handled via plug ins). You can find other programs in the repository using the MyDSL browser in the net section of your menu. I thought gcombust was available but I only saw k3b listed.

And there's the first popup you see in DSL under dillo.
Here's an online version: http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki....d_Paste

Note that you could've used cdw frontend or one of the mydsl extensions.
