Linux 2.6 CDRecord / Azureus

[kfizzle]

hi, i got debian installed with linux 2.6 kernel
so far it runs perfectly fine, but ive been having some probs lately.

for example:
my cdrecord doesnt work with linux 2.6 kernel, it says it will only work with 2.4 kernel, but im not really in the mood to reinstall everything with a wipe clean and degrade my kernel etc...

is there any way around that? are there any other burning software available for linux/debian that works just as good as cdrecord? btw i have a dvd burner, i havent tested my dvd burning tools or dvd+rw stuff, im only familiar with mkisofs and cdrecord actually...

but are there any other good burning tools or software out there for linux that i could use? any with good gui so its easier for me to burn?

--------
also another note:
im trying to install azureus bittorrent client, and so far azureus works using java, and it needs jre 1.4.x to work, i installed JRE 1.5.0 on my linux system but then azureus says it cant find the path to my java package.

how do i setup the pathway for azureus to find my java package? is there a way i could edit a file and fix it? or do i need to install some other package or something? or what?


would be great help if anyone could shed light on either problems. thank you!

CDRECORD problem:
Yeah, it's easy, all you need to know is which device the burner is on. Then, when you're using cdrecord just specify your device to the appropriate block device, as opposed to cdrecords way (0,0,0 or whatever). That means your command would looking something like this (assuming your burner is in /dev/hdc):

cdreocrd --dev=/dev/hdc iso.iso

For burning, I use GnomeBaker. It's Gnome's default CD/DVD burning utility. If you use KDE, the default burner is K3B. If you want to stick to command line burning, there's so many that it would be insane trying to list them here.

I've never used Azereus (or whatever it's called), but I've read before that it's better to use the JRE version available on their download section. If you want a Free (as in freedom) alternative to Azereus you can use BitTornado (works great for me).

For Azureus to work properly, you need to install Sun's Java et Azureus binary package from Azureus' site. Some hints here:

As for Cdrecord, like bidi said it does work in Debian, even if it displays some warnings. Also, K3B will burn your CDs/DVDs just fine.

sweet,
i got k3b to work for me, and burn cds/dvds with ease, and tried out bit tornado as well, which also works!

azureus just didnt work for me, but for now bit tornado will do fine.

thnx guys!
