What you need is LightScribe Simple Labeler. It looks like you can
get it from this outfit:
http://www.pawtec.com/lightscribe/
Doug, I've got both files, and have installed 'em, but so far how to
use them has eluded me. Is there any docs on them?
thanks!
Fred
You actually need two programs--they should both come with the
download, if I
remember it correctly.* I have been using LIghtScribe for several
years. It does
seem to be out of fashion, nowadays, and I 'm not sure that the LightScribe
company still exists. (Maybe it was Lite-On?) Anyway you can still buy disks
and you can still get drives--I just bought a low-profile internal
LightScribe drive for
my laptop. But this situation is likely to deteriorate, so it would
be a good idea to
anticipate your needs, for hardware, software and media, and buy now!
(The software is free.)
*Maybe they don't. In my download directory I find
lightscribe-1.18.27.10-linux-2.6-intel.rpm
lightscribeApplications-1.18.15.1-linux-2.6-intel.rpm
The first file is 825987 B, the second file is 9756232 B.
If you can't find these files, send me a message directly--I think
they are small enough
to send without my server complaining.
I see you're sending from Fedora, so these rpms should work just
fine. I'm on PCLOS,
and they work fine for me.
