Synopsis

/usr/bin stdin stdout - file -- opt --help --version

xcdroast is a CD burning program with a graphical user interface. It supports only SCSI CD drives. If your CD writer is an IDE drive, you’ll need to configure it to use the ide-scsi emulation module. This task is far beyond the scope of our little book, but basically, if your CD drives show up in the output of: 

$ cdrecord -scanbus

you should be OK. Otherwise, consult the “CD-Writing Howto” at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html. Additionally, before using xcdroast, visit http://www.xcdroast.org and read the documentation, especially the FAQ, because setup can be tricky. Then run:

$ xcdroast

Click Setup and make sure all your settings are as you want them. Click Save Configuration, then OK to return to the main screen. From there, choose Duplicate CD or Create CD, whichever you want, and continue from there. Depending on how your system is configured, you might need to be the superuser to burn CDs.
