Pinnacle Micro Recordable CD! X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #10 (NOV) Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk If you get the hardware end working, I can personally attest to the fact that the mkisofs command in FreeBSD is very finicky about the options it accepts, but once you hit on the right ones it does work and will produce an image that, once burned onto a CD, does the right thing. I may make some changes so that the "asserts" turn into warnings about which non-optional flag you forgot to specify.. :-) The mkisofs stuff was written by Yggdrasil, and very poor quality code it is indeed! It definitely has the hallmarks of something that was written by somebody who had little love for the task and just wanted it to work and work quickly. Jordon, I've used mkisofs and im curious how it the FreeBSD driver works, how would you go through the steps of taking a UFS tree and generating an ISO disc off a writer attached to the box? -- Charles Henrich Michigan State University henrich@crh.cl.msu.edu http://rs560.msu.edu/~henrich/
