You can burn DVD's using the port dvd+rw-tools. Regardless of the port's name, it also burns DVD-R/RW. You can get the instructions you need from the FreeBSD Handbook. The relevant pages can be found online at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-dvds.html I documented my success with certain hardware and media in an email at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1258438+1261486+/usr/local/www/db/ text/2004/freebsd-questions/20040118.freebsd-questions If your DVD burner also burns CD-R/RW, you can use burn CD's using mkisofs and cdrecord. Both of these applications are included in the cdrtools port that can be found at: /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools glabels is an application for creating CD/DVD labels. It has templates for many Avery and Neato label sheets. You can find glabels in the ports at: /usr/ports/deskutils/glabels/ Best of luck, Andrew Gould
