2.3 Linux Operation
Setting up your Kanguru QS Slim
Linux operating systems have a built-in driver to support the Kanguru QS Slim. Simply plug in the
Kanguru QS Slim DVDRW to your computer and your operating system will automatically detect the
new hardware and install the appropriate driver. A CD/DVD icon will appear on your desktop when
a CD or DVD is inserted into the drive.
Note: The CD/DVD icon will only appear on your desktop when a CD or DVD is inserted in the
drive. You will not see a CD/DVD icon on your desktop if the QS Slim is connected but there is no
CD or DVD present.
Burning CDs/DVDs
The Kanguru QS Slim does not come bundled with Linux compatible software. However there are
many free, 3rd party burning programs available for Linux. We recommend using K3B Burning Tool
burning software with the Kanguru QS Slim.
Removing your Kanguru QS Slim
To properly remove the device from your computer, you need to first eject any disc in the drive.
Your system may freeze up or give you an error message if you remove the device without properly
stopping it first.
To remove your Kanguru QS Slim, right-click on the CD/DVD icon from your desktop and then select
Eject Volume. This will safely eject the disc from your system. Once the disc has been removed you
can safely disconnect the USB Cable. If there is no disc in drive, there won’t be a CD/DVD icon on
your desktop. In this case you can simply disconnect the USB cable.
