Is there a HOWTO or equivalent for the app "burn"?
Is there a HOWTO or equivalent for the app "burn"?
Task: burn data CDs, multisession, from the CLI (Lenny). Imagine running a search for the term "burn"! Six zillion responses...burn really should be called something else. Does anybody know of a resource that will help me configure /etc/burn.conf, and get running? TIA

Re: Is there a HOWTO or equivalent for the app "burn"?
Well. Let me try again.
I have the app "burn" installed, but I can't make it work. Before installing it, I used aptitude to look at its description. Having installed it, I looked at the two README files it put in /usr/share/doc, and of course I read the man page. Then I posted asking for a quick way to get to help on the configuration. Maybe someone who uses Lenny also uses "burn"?

I use wodim myself but tried burn and had no problem configuring it.
If you read the man page then I assume you have already used the burn-configure utility as instructed? The man page seems to be about as thorough as any howto could be in regard to a command line tool.
Beyond that, to receive any sort of meaningful help you will probably need to post any relevant configuration files, actual error messages, hardware info, and so forth.

Re: Is there a HOWTO or equivalent for the app "burn"?
No, I did not use the utility mentioned on the man page, because I misinterpreted
So I tried the utility, and it produced a burn.conf file that differed from what I had already looked at and tinkered with a bit in one insignificant respect only: the mount point (which was different because I changed it to what I hope was correct). But I used the new burn.conf file anyway.
My original results with the old, default /etc/burn.conf produced this result:
Then when I tried the NEW /etc/burn.conf, I got this:
Two edits to get it right....
to mean that if I had /etc/burn.conf, I would not have to use the utility."Configuration files for burn are: ~/.burnrc or /etc/burn.conf. You can edit them to change values. If you don't have these files you can: 1) use burn-configure utility"
