After trying out the latest version of Damn Small Linux (0.5.2), I was glad to see that John somehow fit cdrecord and mkisofs into the liveCD. Great Job!

Unfortunately, the only cd burning application that can fit on the current version of DSL is bash burn which is somewhat cumbersome to use and confusing.

However, I was able to find a small size version of GCombust (VectorLinux Package) XWindows CD Burning Interface that could be downloaded and installed via a shell script. The best part is that there are no dependencies and the program only takes up 184k after being uncompressed.

This script also takes advantage of the new /opt directory, which will allow multiple users to use the same program.

Here's how to install GCombust:

Copy the script text below and paste it into a text editor like Scite
Save the script file as /opt/.start_gcombust
Note the "." period in front of the word start
Make the script executable by typing in the following from an Xterminal (rxvt) Window:

chmod 755 /opt/.start_gcombust

Finally, run the script by typing in:

/opt/.start_gcombust

Here is the scipt text:

Code Sample

#!/bin/sh
#
# /opt/.start_gcombust - Checks to see if GCombust is already installed
# and starts it up. Otherwise, install the program.
# Rev 0 1/01/04

# Has this script called itself with the install argument?
while [ "$1" = "install" ]
do
# First, download and unpack the Vector Linux GCombust binaries
cd $HOME
echo 'Grabbing GCombust Binaries...'
wget -c http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/vectorlinux/veclinux-4.0/packages/gcombust-0.1.55-i386-1.tgz
tar -zxvf gcombust-0.1.55-i386-1.tgz usr/X11R6/bin/gcombust usr/X11R6/share/pixmaps/gcombust.xpm
rm -rf $HOME/gcombust-0.1.55-i386-1.tgz
rm -rf $HOME/install

# Next, install the files and clean up
mkdir /opt/gcombust
cp $HOME/usr/X11R6/bin/gcombust /opt/gcombust
cp $HOME/usr/X11R6/share/pixmaps/gcombust.xpm $HOME/.xtdesktop
rm -rf $HOME/usr

# Create Desktop Icon for GCombust
echo 'table Icon' > $HOME/.xtdesktop/gcombust.lnk
echo ' Type: Program' >> $HOME/.xtdesktop/gcombust.lnk
echo ' Caption: GCombust' >> $HOME/.xtdesktop/gcombust.lnk
echo ' Command: sh /opt/.start_gcombust' >> $HOME/.xtdesktop/gcombust.lnk
echo ' Icon: .xtdesktop/gcombust.xpm' >> $HOME/.xtdesktop/gcombust.lnk
echo ' X: 385' >> $HOME/.xtdesktop/gcombust.lnk
echo ' Y: 98' >> $HOME/.xtdesktop/gcombust.lnk
echo 'end' >> $HOME/.xtdesktop/gcombust.lnk

exit
done

# Check to see if gcombust is already installed
if test -f '/opt/gcombust/gcombust'
then
/opt/gcombust/gcombust &
exit
fi

# Otherwise, run this script again in an rxvt window with the
# install argument added
cd $HOME
rxvt -rv -T "installing GCombust..." -e sh /opt/.start_gcombust install
# Restart the xtdesktop icons if needed
ps -ef | grep xtdesk | grep -v grep | grep -v re_xtdesk > /tmp/startgcombust.tmp
if test -s '/tmp/startgcombust.tmp'
then
killall -9 xtdesk >/dev/null
xtdesk >/dev/null &
fi
rm -rf /tmp/startgcombust.tmp

# Start gcombust for the first time
/opt/gcombust/gcombust
exit

Hey this is nice! You know 184k isn't really all that big...

Actually, including the Desktop Icon file the total is 199k.

If you could find a way to fit this program into the next version of DSL, that would be cool.

If you want to capture GCombust, just execute the script and then include the following files into the DSL image:

/opt/gcombust/gcombust (It really belongs in /usr/X11R6/bin)
/home/damnsmall/.xtdesktop/gcombust.xpm

along with the typical Desktop Icon lnk file and Fluxbox menu item additions, of course.

Well,

I just couldn't leave well enough alone...

Here is a new version of the GCombust install script.
I made a few changes:
GCombust AND Cdparanoia are BOTH installed (cdparanoia total size: 151K)
This allows the DSL user to also use gcombust as an audio CD ripper.
Created a new /opt directory structure:
/opt/bin for binaries
/opt/lib for libraries
/opt/share for shared files
This is important to allow for future new program installs to the /opt directory especially when the applications interact with each other and you only want to add one new item to your PATH (IE: /opt/bin or /opt/lib)
Also, cleaned up the desktop icon creation routine so that user #2 will get a new desktop icon after running GCombust for the first time, even if the program was originally installed by user #1.

Here it is:

Code Sample

#!/bin/sh
#
# /opt/.start_gcombust - Checks to see if GCombust is already installed
# and starts it up. Otherwise, install the program
# and install cdparanoia CD Audio ripping program.
# Rev 1 1/04/04

# Has this script called itself with the install argument?
while [ "$1" = "install" ]
do
# First, download and unpack the Vector Linux GCombust binaries
cd $HOME
echo 'Grabbing GCombust Binaries...'
wget -c http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/vectorlinux/veclinux-4.0/packages/gcombust-0.1.55-i386-1.tgz
tar -zxvf gcombust-0.1.55-i386-1.tgz usr/X11R6/bin/gcombust usr/X11R6/share/pixmaps/gcombust.xpm
rm -rf $HOME/gcombust-0.1.55-i386-1.tgz

# Create the /opt directories if they don't already exist
if [ ! -f /opt/bin ]
then
mkdir /opt/bin
fi

if [ ! -f /opt/lib ]
then
mkdir /opt/lib

if [ ! -f /opt/share/pixmaps ]
then
mkdir -p /opt/share/pixmaps

# Install the GCombust files
cp $HOME/usr/X11R6/bin/gcombust /opt/bin
cp $HOME/usr/X11R6/share/pixmaps/gcombust.xpm /opt/share/pixmaps

# Download and install Slackware 9.1 cdparanoia binaries and libraries
