Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I will give your crib sheet a go and if it is as
good as it sounds i will like it! Do you have any other info along those
lines, not necessarily on that subject but fast tips like that? If so i'd be
interested.
When you say grab all the tracks do you mean use dd when burning?
Currently i use windows copy to get everything, i've got hidden files and os
files turned on so i get all the files, i have never tried it using unix for
the copy, then hooking up to the share crossnetwork, doing the work, and
then burning, do you know anyone who has done this, i'd like not to make a
deaddisk if i can help it.
Thanks.
Dave.

Hello,
I've got two questions on burning cdr/cdrw disks. I'm using freebsd
5.4-p6 and using cdrtools for cdr/rw and dvd+rw-tools for dvdr/rw
burning.
My first question has to do with multisession disk burning, burn
some, take it out, go back later and write more to the disk until it's
full. I've not been able to make this work with either cd's or dvd's
and would appreciate a tutorial or howto on multisession burning.
From my crib sheet:
for cdrecord:
dv=/dev/acd0
export CDR_DEVICE=1,0,0
filenames=be-well.`date "+%y%m%d"`*
# first session
mkisofs -R $filenames |cdrecord -v
driveropts=burnfree -multi -data -tao -
#other sessions
OFST=`cdrecord -msinfo`
echo $OFST
mkisofs -M $dv -C $OFST -R $filenames |cdrecord -v
driveropts=burnfree -tao -multi -data -
Season to taste.
My second question regards burning a windows xp disk under
bsd. I've got one, a vanilla xp pro disk and i want to slipstream
it. I copy the files from the disk to my windows hard disk, slipstream
them with servicepack two plus some additional hardware drivers, now
i've got an xpsp2+drivers installation tree. I copy that over to a
network share, log on to my bsd machine, and i have no idea on how to
use mkisofs to make a bootable iso to burn to disk. I've tried just
making an iso of the installtree and burning that with cdrecord, made
some coasters that's about it. My goal is to have a bootable disk thag
acts just like the original vanilla xp disk, boots right in to the
install and so forth.
Have you tried just copying the filesystem image, instead of the
files? [But make sure you get all of the tracks, if there are more
than one.]
