They are both command line applications; but if you always use the same media and options you could write a simple script that prompts for the variable information. For example, when burning DVD's, I always use DVD-R's and the command: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0c -r -l [path_to_data_to_burn] A simple script would prompt for the directory I want to burn and would build and execute the proper command. If you wanted to get fancy, the script could have a configuration file for static info and would prompt for: 1. burning cd's vs dvd's (cdrecord vs growisofs) 2. single burn session vs RW (and initial burn vs subsequent burn) 3. burn existing iso image vs directory vs mkisofs, then burn iso image Best of luck, Andrew Gould ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
