Kaffeine (at least in my use) requires the GUI. I never looked if there is a possibility to run such a task from the command line but this would require setting the right channel and recording time and this is damn easier from the GUI. Besides, I started with GEM on the Amstrad PC 1512 and while I appreciate the command line I'm sort of a GUI addict :) Thierry --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
