Somewhat related, is anyone doing anything with packet-writing for FreeBSD? I always assumed that it would allow the use of CD like a tape. Would be nice anyway. You can already do this if you really want to by telling dump to use files and making them all 650MB (or whatever your CD-ROMs are), and then burning those to CD. No compression, but it's worked for me. -- "Star Wars Moral Number 17: Teddy bears are dangerous in herds."
