<para>When you run &k3b; for the first time, you may find &k3b; informing you
that no optical writer drivers have been found, meaning you will not be able to
write to any optical discs. There is no need to panic as &k3b; will open a
configuration window which will help you get various tools used by &k3b; up and
running. This includes viewing the user group that owns those applications. You
should not need to change this as &k3b; will apply the correct permissions on external
programs itself. These programs are generally <command>cdrecord</command>,
<command>growisofs</command> and <command>cdrdao</command>. If preferred, one can
tell &k3b; to use the <guilabel>burning</guilabel> user group and point it to the
optical drive. Below is an image of the configuration window where these settings
are possible.
