Danny, Have you looked through the community docs at the Ubuntu web site? I found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LightScribe Those are instructions for Feisty, most likely (given the date), but may well work for Gutsy as well. Apparently the Linux version of LightScribe is available as an RPM package, which is not Ubuntu's normal package format, so a program called Alien is used to convert the RPM into a DEB package, Ubuntu's normal format. The most common way to install programs in Ubuntu is to use Synaptic Package Manager to search the repositories and install. If you would like a quick run through of that, let me know - I'll fire up my 'buntu box and we can chat on the phone or on irc. -Gabe -- Gabe Ormsby home 612/872-7283 work 651/222-2193 mobile 651/216-0055
