I keep the 5.4 system because every time I upgrade something breaks and cannot be fixed without (apparently) weeks of effort.

I've been using burncd on 5.4 but when I try it on 7.2 the drive and process lock up during the fixate step. Clearing them requires a reboot. > > Does anyone have advice, pointers, etc.? If you point me to pseudo-SCSI, please give me pointers to all parts of the solution, since the various man pages don't have proper links to each other. (Hint to man page authors: the SEE ALSO entries are very important, and you must consider ALL levels, from other apps to the system calls used.) Here is the command string I use successfully to burn a dir of picture files on FreeBSD 7.1 system. /usr/sbin/burncd -f /dev/acd0c -s max data PIC2005-cdimage fixate I don't remember what I did to create the PIC2005-cdimage file. I was having trouble with the system trying to run the burner too fast with I had a speed argument in the command line. Without it, it runs fast enough for the few I was making. ////jerry > > Thank you for your help. > > Mark Terribile > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
