I installed it to do this and it brought in 26MB of KDE dependencies.

I don't copy music, so I'll be trying brasero. My interests are mainly data, software and backups. </blockquote> It was already installed. I uninstalled K3b, reinstalled rhythmbox and brasero, and tried to make a copy of the "utltimate boot CD" of utilities used by a local charity I volunteer with. Brasero read the CD, ejected the medium, and prompty died. I tried several variations. Pretty much the same, though some died more quickly than that. Help? </blockquote></div></div> Did you try burning at a lower speed (some drives/discs don't support high speeds)? Also, you could try disabling some of the plugins under Edit>Plugins - File Checksum, and Image Checksum can sometimes cause problems and unnecessary slowness.
