NeroLINUX has all the necessary functionality for recording CDs and DVDs builtin. However, for some special features NeroLINUX relies on some additional programs and packages installed on your system:
The mpg123 software MPEG1-LayerIII decoder is used to allow recording of
MP3 files on CD as regular audio tracks. Additionally, Gogo’n’Coda can be
used to encode MP3 files.
The ogg123 command line ogg-vorbis decoder as well as the oggtst package (available from the GnomeToaster Homepage: http://gnometoaster.rulez.org)
is needed to be able to play and record ogg-vorbis files. Additionally, oggenc can be used to encode ogg-vorbis files.
NeroLINUX has dependency test functionality built-in and will tell you when it needs a program and cannot find it. A message will pop up in this case telling you the name of the package, the URL where it can be obtained and what purpose it has within NeroLINUX.
Technical support for NeroLINUX will be provided by

Recording CD-R/RW or DVD/RW
For the graphical user interface of NeroLINUX you will need about 64MB of system RAM to record a CD-R/RW or DVD/RW. In fact, this amount of memory is too little as your X server also uses a lot of RAM.
Your CPU should be at least a Pentium III class 500Mhz CPU. Such a CPU is required to safely record .mp3 files on the fly for example.
