Well cdrecord and growisofs both work great under 2.6, although neither does the bin.cue and other disc at once stuff that cdrdao does. I wouldn't call cdrdao essential for cd burning at least. Now as for why it isn't there, I don't know. apt-get source cdrdao seems to work on debian-pure64 at least, although apt-cache shows no package for it. After trying to build it, it appears it doesn't have a RULES file for building the scsilib on x86_64 so it fails the build. I will take a quick look at it to see if the solution is obvious. cdrecord uses a symlink from i586-linux-gcc.rul to x86_64-linux-gcc.rul and from i586-linux-cc.rul to x86_64-linux-cc.rul, so doing the same for cdrdao should work too. It appears to since building works. So to get a package for cdrdao do this: apt-get source cdrdao cd cdrdao-*/scsilib/RULES ln -s i586-linux-cc.rul x86_64-linux-cc.rul ln -s i586-linux-gcc.rul x86_64-linux-gcc.rul cd ../.. dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b cd .. dpkg -i cdrdao*deb Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
