There is the CD burning howto available (search google for "cdrecord howto"). Here's what I do on windows or linux, using the free cdrecord software: 1. Type command 'cdrecord -scanbus' and make a note of the #,#,# that represents your burner. Plug that number into step 2 2. type: cdrecord dev=#,#,# speeed=# -eject -verbose filename.iso That's all. For example: cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=8 -eject -verbose shrike1.iso Michael > thanx a ton for all the help!!! > ~Erin > > ===== > The pledge of allegiance to the flag is a pledge to the ideals of our forefathers, > the men who fought and died in the building of this great nation.
