X-CD-ROAST(1)X-CD-ROAST(1)NAMExcdroast - graphical frontend to create or copy CDs.
SYNOPSISxcdroast [-d <debug-level>] [-c <config-directory>] [-l
<lib-directory>] [-o] [-n] [-w] [-a] [-f "<list of scsi-
devices>"] [--display <display>] [--no-xshm]
DESCRIPTIONxcdroast is a program-package dedicated to easy CD cre-
ation. It combines command line tools like cdrecord,
cdda2wav, readcd and mkisofs into a graphical user inter-
face.
With a few simple mouse-clicks you can copy or create your
own CDs, without long study of any command line parame-
ters.
OPTIONS
-d <debug-level>
Run X-CD-Roast in debug mode, which causes a lot of
text to be output on the console. Set the debug-
level to 10 and reproduce the problem to generate a
useable bug-report.
-c <config-directory>
Sets the directory where X-CD-Roast should look for
the config files. By default this is set to
$HOME/.xcdroast.
-l <lib-directory>
Sets the directory where X-CD-Roast should look for
its library files (like icons, translations and
sounds). By default this is /usr/lib/xcdroast-0.98
or /usr/local/lib/xcdroast-0.98 (depends on your
installation).
-o This disables multibyte font support. This might be
handy when you have problems to display some spe-
cial characters in the on-screen texts. (e.g. ger-
man umlauts)
-n Disables the cdrtools version check and allows X-
CD-Roast to start when even wrong versions of
cdrecord, mkisofs, readcd or cdda2wav are
installed. Use at own risk! This also overrides the
forced exit when you don't meet the 800x600 minimal
resolution requirement.
-w Don't use cdrecord-ProDVD, even when it is
installed. Sometimes it may be desireable to use
only the free version of cdrecord. In this case you
can disable ProDVD support here without needing to
deinstall the ProDVD-binary.
-a Disable additional scans for CD-Writers or CD-Read-
ers. In addition to the usual SCSI transport sup-
port (generic scsi), X-CD-Roast also supports the
experimental ATA-transport of the latest linux ker-
nels. If you set this option then this extra
support will be disabled.
On Mac OS X this option will disable the display of
the autodiskmount daemon handling code. Useful when
you have other means to handle the mount issue.
-f "<list of scsi-devices>"
Will not scan for devices, but force X-CD-Roast to
use the given ones (semicolon seperated list). Most
useful on AIX or OpenBSD system where scanning
fails. Can be also used to use remote-SCSI devices.
You can set these devices also within the setup
menu.
--display <display>
Use the designated X display.
--no-xshm
Do not use the X Shared Memory extension. If X-CD-
Roast is being displayed on a remote X server, this
probably needs to be enabled. Also useful for any X
server that doesn't properly support the X shared
memory extension. This will result in slower per-
formance than with X shared memory enabled.
Multiple concurrent instances
It is possible to start X-CD-Roast more than once at the
same time. This way you can write to several CD-Writers if
your system can handle the load.
Be sure to give each instance of X-CD-Roast own devices
and don't scan for devices while another copy of X-CD-
Roast is already running. Also note that writing two CDs
at the same time requires that the writers are at a own
IDE bus each. (Real SCSI devices should be fine.)
BUGS

can be found in the documentation included with X-CD-
Roast, in the FAQ on http://www.xcdroast.org/faq or the
