Yup did that and then read back the "cd/image info" , instead of seeing
the contents of the disk, all I see is in the "CD-Information" box is
"1.data track {488MB]
ISO9660:WXPVOL_EN[488MB]"
In the "Image-Information" box
"Path :/var/image
3.winxp.iso [488MB]
(WXPVOL_EN ISO9660)"
Now being a slight distrusting person I checked the content of the CD
using Nautilus to find on both copies I made the correct files in their
expanded state.
I suspect also that there is a unmounting problem as I had to use the
CD-player to eject the CD :))..
So does xcdroast automatically determine whether or not it is an iso
image or a normal data file (ie frogs.tgz).
Also with Miarks comment about speed, does this indicate the write speed
can exceed the speed stated by the manufacturer, and by how much ?
TIA
Richard
