I don't think so, because the Linux kernel doesn't support multi-session and restore reads the raw device. But in your case why don't you use rewritable CDs which should work out of the box. A second possibility is to directly write to the raw device of ZIP drive. I'll try that and report later. But a ZIP medium is much more expensive than a rewritable CD and you don't need a ZIP-drive either. Helmut. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
