I am confused about the whole cdrw thing under linux. as i understand it you can treat a cdrw more or less as a floppy under windows, write, delete, etc via a udf filesystem
I also understand udf now works in linux, but from Michael's post it doesn't seem like it is as flexible as under doze. eg if you have to use cdrecord, do you give it a whole new .iso incorporating what was already on the cd along with whatever chnages you want, and let it rewrite the whole cd? Nick confused (as usual).
