That would be burncd and it's part of the base system in FreeBSD 4+ No need for ports or anything, just use burncd. I did like (and use) the cd2mp3 port to handle some music and mp3 creation. Xmms I use to change mp3's to .wav Then it's just burncd to write the data or music cd's. For writing wav files to a cd: burncd -f /dev/cdrom -s 8 audio track* fixate which means you have music in the directory you called this from called track1.wav, track2.wav, etc. /dev/cdrom is usually a symlink to your real device. If it hasn't been symlinked, use the proper device name i.e. /dev/acd01 Data is a little different. You need to use mkisofs (in the ports) to create your data "image" and then burn that to the cd. -Gerry- Web Hosting / Domain Hosting / DNS Services check us out at www.interpool.ca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
