My DVD rewriter is a USB device, and not a SCSI device, and I am not sure what the device number and LUN etc. are for it (I only know that /dev/sr1 and /dev/scd1 both map to it). Should I do something like: mkisofs -R /master/tree | cdrecord speed=2 dev=2,0 from the man page's example, where /master/tree is the directory I want to write out, but what should be the arguments for dev= ? Thanks again for your help! P.S. I hope my earlier message reached you, I still don't see it on the cdwrite mailing list... Cheers, Kish
