People seem to have problems with ISO files and getting them burned to disc. Under Windows there is excellent freeware for the job. Here are a couple tools to try IF Deepburner, Nero, Roxio, etc does not seem to work for you: 1. http://www.imgburn.com/ - This guy puts out the most complete ISO image burning freeware for Windows. This software works very well, but has an interface that could scare a seasoned vet. Very powerful and has lots of options. 2. http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads/burncdcc.zip - This is one simple and free ISO burner. Works great on my internal and external DVD+-RW burners under Windows. Under Linux, it is even easier: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=klikit-ff-0.1-4.iso -- Execute this command from within the directory containing the ISO file Added 09-13-07 PS. Thanks PGTips91 for the bit about how to easily get to a terminal winthin a specific directory from within konqueror. I also neglected to mention that the growisofs command above be run as root or preceded by sudo. I hope it was obvious that the filename at the end can be replaced by any valid dvd ISO image file, and I only used the klikit ISO file as an example. |

Excellent tip. |

Easiest way to "Execute this command from within the directory containing the ISO file" is to navigate to the folder in Konqueror, then choose ' Tools > Open Terminal' |

MIght have to look in to this imgburn thing. Personally I have been using ISO Recorder, it is what I would prefer UI wise, no extra, right click the ISO, chose 'copy image to CD' or 'open with --> ISO Recorder' choose the drive you want to burn to and you are on your way. Does CD, does DVD, don't know about the other stuff. Later, Seeker |

Came across this useful web site this morning : -- http://on-disk.com/request.phpFor those without DVD-RW or dial-up connections, this is a reasonably cheap alternative. You just order a special DVD and give the download URL. |

That's pretty reasonable for a custom download and burn.

It depends on the version of K3B. The latest version, on the Klikit LiveCD did a very good job burning a DVD for me.

What version of k3b do you have?  *spire uses old libraries like Xandros does, I might be able to get you a port of k3b that works for you. |

You might try the terminal, as root, and from within the directory where you store the ISO file: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=NameOf_ISO_file.iso The screen output will keep you informed of the progress of the burn and tell you when it completes. Let me know if you give it a try. It works well for me under Kubuntu 7.04. |

I still have the open version of Freespire, 1.0.13 or 14 I forget which was which, on a system as it is the only distro that works well with my dual monitors and it handles the latest DVDs through k3b no problems. |
