It's slow but it works well. I've got gobs and gobs of data spread across many machines, many filled to capacity. It takes me less time and a lot less work to cross mount our aging workstations and burn directly than it does to copy and create iso files, and then burn. Other advantages are the ability to completely fill the disks (> 4 GB iso files are a problem on 32 bit systems) and not needing free space for the disk images. Although its possible to pipe mkisofs output to cdrecord and avoid producing an image, (which I usually do for CDR), buffer underruns are a problem when the files live across on a NFS partition. Of course, YMMV. -- Frank Hage [EMAIL PROTECTED] National Center for Atmospheric Research -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Haven't found a need to use a GUI otherwise. gtoaster is the first one I found which burns audio from mp3s. I don't think it's a particularly good GUI, but it does make it possible to pick and arrange songs as I wish. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
