I have used it on FreeBSD 8* for a while. (Simple and it works.)- ########## dvdburner.doc DVD+R burner Setup and operation From sysutils/dvd+rw-tools Intall the DVD port # growisofs ( used the following from all the suggestions and it worked with Manolis DVD p1 7.2) 1st> Put hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" in the /boot/loader.conf 2nd> Put apticam_load="YES" in the /boot/loader.conf (That 2nd 18.7.2 instruction is not clear in the Handbook section and should be added.) Then> Run # growisofs -dvd-compat -Z dev/cd0=/usr/home/alp/FreeBSD_7/7.2-RELEASE-p1-i386-disc1.iso (all on one line) Then> Use cd0 as a DVD burner and make the DVD-R I tested the DVD on a spare box and it installed just fine. ############## ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 7.2 - 8.0 - 9* + < email: noc@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
