Hello everybody, Finally, I bought a CD Writer (LG GCE-8320B) and temporarily installed Windows98 to test UDF Packet Writing under it, since the HOWTOS told me that UDF was not yet ready for Linux.
Anyway, I liked this Packet Writing thing. But I am also having a doubt as to how windows became ready for UDF so early compared to Linux. Since windows is also an OS (good or bad, is another matter) it must be having a kernel. So, to support UDF Packet Writing, it must have kernel support I guess. Is Windows so advanced that it had this feature back in 1998 (or earlier ?) itself ? Or is it a fact that windows do not need to have kernel support for this, and the manufacturers of softwares like Nero(InCD) just needs to insert a module or two (during installation of the Packet Writing software) into the windows kernel ? If this latter case is true, why then Linux needs to have its kernel compiled for every new feature that is to be inserted whereas under windows the software just 'gets installed' ? Or is UDF something propreitory, causing Linux to take time to get it ? Someone please help me clarify my doubts.
