Thanks for all suggestions. Daniel's idea seems to be closer to what I was looking for (I do not have Java installed on either box, although I could run Knoppix on the CD writer machine).

I'll need to go through that man page a few times, unless you can suggest an appropriate string of options. PS. When I used the k3b gui with default settings to copy a WinXP directory to a DVD it capitalised all filenames and substituted most characters like , spaces, etc with _. I assume that this is because it applied Jolliet standard. How should I set it in K3B to get all the file name characters copied over intact? How would I do this in mkisofs, too? -- Regards, Mick on mkisofs I think you have to use -r for Rock Ridge then you should get the real filenames

As you're already familiar to K3b, why not use that to build the ISO image (tick the Only Create image box). Then transfer it to the other computer to burn it to DVD. -- Neil Bothwick People who eat natural foods die from natural causes. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Using a remote DVD writer
Hi All, My laptop does not have a DVD writer, only a DVD/CD player. On the other hand, my desktop has the works. Other than booting the desktop in Gentoo and burning DVDs directly, is there a way to use it remotely from my laptop? Can I define in K3B my desktop's DVD drive(s)? How can I set this up for a LAN connection? While at it, is there a way to achieve this at all when the desktop is not running Gentoo, but WinXP? PS.

It lets you write CDs and DVDs remotely using a web interface to control the process. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Use mkisofs (app-cdr/cdrtools) to prepare an ISO image and transfer that over to the box with the burner. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
