This slightly reduces the overhead. With a reasonably fast CD-ROM drive, i think you can even burn directly from a CD, but i haven't tested this. > What are the exact commands > you use to burn it? Does the burncdfs.sh do it right... I think quite a number of people are using it. I'm using another but fairly similar script (the one in examples is Jordan's). If you feel adventurous, and you know how to use Tcl/Tk (i don't), go and write a better user interface around mkisofs, and the burncd script. > But now that this hurdle is > jumped, I can't wait for my Advansys scsi card to be supported.
