[texhax] Burning a dvd.

[Andy Farnell]

I use K3b on my Debian. Apparently to put it into Slack you
do something like:


Go to http://www.slackware.com/getslack/ 
and coose a mirror close to your location and 
then browse to the directory 
slackware-10.2/slackware/ap/ 
and there you will find 
dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-i486-1.tgz

# installpkg dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-i486-1.tgz

# su -

http://www.slackware.com/getslack/ 
browse to the directory 
slackware-10.2/extra/k3b/ 

Download 
k3b-0.12.4a-i486-1.tgz package. 

Install 
# installpkg k3b-0.12.4a-i486-1.tgz

Then run
# k3b

YMMV with versions etc. Check on the latest appropriate
packages for your Slack distro for dvd tools and k3b.
