By all means, please hava a look at the documentation. Unlike other non 
kde-cvs programs, it is quite good and will help you with "Mode 1" etc. For 
the burning of iso or MP3's you should have a look at the Advanced Mode, it 
is especially made for this kind of actions.

Actually, you can find the process at http://www.kde.org/kde2-and-kde3.html .

You could start by making a list of things that could be made clearer. We 
could document them by tooltips and what's this help. And usuability reports 
are a great help too. We're off to make KreateCD 2.0 the best burner for UNIX!
