I haven't borrowed the burner yet, so I don't even know how it gets recognized at bootup. Does the kernel recognize it as a specific device? I don't see entries for it in the kernel config or in MAKEDEV... Does this mean it will show up as /dev/uk0? Has someone done this before, and if so, could they please explain the process? btw, as far as I could tell, the mkisofs options needed are: > mkisofs -o cd_image -R -V Test -N -d -A Test -P cvance@cfar.umd.edu -p cvance@cfar.umd.edu -T test_dir Did I forget something, or include too many extra options? I didn't understand why the software wouldn't allow me to omit the -N and -d options? (I got assertion failed errors) thanks, chris.
