Well, for suitable values of "entirely" <g> |

Note that cdrecord itself is no longer in portage, due to licensing |
| 11 |
issues. The command line compatible replacement is cdrkit (forked by |
| 12 |
Debian from the last free software version, when cdrecord decided to pull |
| 13 |
an xfree86 and screw up its licensing), which includes a cdrecord symlink |
| 14 |
for full compatibility. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
For disk burning, in addition to cdrkit/cdrecord, k3b can use cdrdao for |
| 17 |
disk-at-once, which is what I usually do. It uses growisofs for DVD-R/RW |
| 18 |
(as opposed to +R/RW), and it uses cdrkit/cdrecord for DVD+R/RW and CDR / |
| 19 |
not/ done "dao". |

However, if you simply meant that k3b is just the GUI front-end, then |
| 22 |
yes, you are correct. |
