Why do you say that?

(Is this cd disk at once? It just struck me what the dao bit might mean.)

As for it being installed - I've no idea - if suse install didn't load 
it, I certainly didn't. Go back to basics - what do I check to see if 
this is there? And what, exactly, is cdrdao? A "driver", a program which 
meshes with K3b and other burners...?

You'll need to cue me in on ferreting out the required information... 
Think neonate in any technical level for this OS. I've been looking 
after kids the last few years and so get about an hour a day free from 
domestics for everything else, hence despite using suse "out of the box" 
for some  years haven't been able to look under the hood or get 
acquainted with anything beyond the simple "user" needs it meets (unlike 
my nigh on 2 decade long professional involvement, before "retiring" 
with a /very/ late family start, with the evolution of microsoft and 
novell products - time I rue as lost bitterly).

I'm not in too good a position to advocate stuff around the school I'm a 
governor of if I can't answer such simple questions!!
