Example: # burncd -f /dev/ide.node.of.your.burner -F format dvd+rw # burncd -f /dev/ide.node.of.your.burner dvdrw file.iso For -R and -RW, use dvdrecord. There are a few patches needed to make it compile. Google may be helpful, or I can send my patched source tree. I don't have the patch itself though :-( > > Also, I'm aware of the status of 5 as -CURRENT still, and I'm posting > a second email asking for opinions on stability. > > Thanks in advance for any information. > > -Bill Hope this helps, -- Josh
