FreeBSD doesn't support that. A CDRW is a reusable CDR, not a file system. Some of the Windows CDRW tools (provided by the CDRW manufacturer) may provide a file system that lets you use a CDRW that way, but I don't know of any tool that does that for FreeBSD. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
