Well, you need to make an iso image out of the files you want to burn onto your CDs before you actually burn them, have a look at mkisofs in /usr/ports/sysutils/mkisofs. After having installed mkisofs, you'D burn a CD about like that: 1) Copy all the files to be burned in a directory, for example /home/nils/cddir 2) Run mkisofs *about* like this: mkisofs -r -o /home/nils/cdimage /home/nils/cddir. Actual options you will want to use may vary, but "man mkisofs" should tell you all you need to know. 3) Now, burn the isp image: burncd -f /dev/acd1c -s <speed> data /home/nils/cdimage fixate That's about all! You can now mount your CD (use the mount_cd9660 command). One more note: The erros you receive at the end of burning the CD can most likely be discarded. I get them all of the time on an old Mitsumi burner, yet all CDs burned by that device are perfectly usable.
