Noooo, you can do that? Like, maybe, scripting and stuff, too? :P
Which, in a nutshell, is why NeroLinux is just a joke. The GUI looks
usable enough, but the license is hilarious -- NeroLinux is "free" if
you buy the Windows version??? -- and it's x86 only, while cdrtools
(for which k3b is just a frontend), thanks to the peculiar tastes of
its maintainer, spin on AMD- and IA-64, ARM, Alpha, PPC both 32 and 64
bit, MIPS, s/390, HPPA, Sparc all the way, and quite possibly oven
toasters. And of course, it's available for the BSDs, Solaris, SunOS,
HP-UX, AIX, IRIX, SCO Unixware, VMS, BeOS, OS/2. And Windows... :)
