The problem is, those front ends turn out to be a hindrance. Every front end I tried was lousier than a simple tcsh prompt (actually, I used bash back then), so I wound up in a shell every time I wanted to burn a disc. Burncd is actually nicer than cdrecord from the prompt, since I don't need to remember the SCSI emulation bus/device info (sometimes the device was 0,0,0, sometimes 0,1,0, or some other choice). The only problem is that I can't record audio CDs... oh well. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
