The old standard was 650, the current is 700, and you can apparently also get 870MB cds, although I have no idea where. You also have those little 200MB 3-inch cd's (take a look at your CD drive tray; the little circular depression in the center of the tray is for those). I know cdrecord prints the capacity of the media before its 10-second delay; there might be a way to get media info without attempting a burn and hitting ^C. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
