I've downloaded the cd burning stuff. But when i looked on the site again it was the source code thing. How do you get it to work and have i got the wrong thing.
Why don't you start with an rpm based linux, so that you don't have these problems. Mandrake Linux allows you to choose apps from a list, and installs the dependancies.
With K3B I had to put a non-blank cd in the drive for it to register my cdburner.
Suse, even redhat are all good choices for new linux users.
