name. Use tar.gz for the most common archive form.

Creating a CD/DVD

If your system has a CD or DVD read/write drive, you can
use the Nautilus file manager to burn CDs and DVDs.
1. Click Computer → More Applications → Audio & Video
→ GNOME CD/DVD Creator, or insert a blank disc and
click Make Data CD/DVD or Make Audio CD/DVD.
2. Copy the files you want to put on the CD or DVD into
the Nautilus CD/DVD Creator window.
3. Click Write to Disc.
4. Modify information in the Write to Disc dialog box or
accept the defaults, then click Write.
The files are burned to the disc. This could take a few
minutes, depending on the amount of data being
burned and the speed of your burner.

folders.

You can also organize your bookmarks list by clicking
