DVD image making utility, equivalent to mkisofs
Good day all! I've been trying to get mkisofs to create a DVD image for me on my FreeBSD (5.3) machine, in order to be able to burn it on Nero (Windows 2000). The utility does create an ISO image rather quickly, however when I open it with Nero, the program refuses to recognize it as a DVD image, despite the size being way over 700 MB. Here's script snipped I am using to do it. if mkisofs -V $1 -o ~/backup/$1.iso -R -J ~/mydata then echo $1.iso was created successfully at `date` else echo mkisofs failed to create an ISO image! fi Does anyone know whether there is a way to force mkisofs to create a DVD image or a different utility. Any input would be appreciated. Michael ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The port sysutils/dvd+rw-tools provides growisofs, which should do the trick. HTH, Mario As far as I could derive from growisofs' man page, it only writes data out to a DVD, not to an image. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

mkisofs -dvd-video % man mkisofs ... -dvd-video Generate DVD-Video compliant UDF file system. This is done by sorting the order of the content of the appropriate files and by adding padding between the files if needed. Note that the sort- ing only works if the DVD-Video filenames include upper case characters only. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. I am aware of this option, however I am burning data, not video. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
tar or gtar
Hi all. I am running 5.3. I noticed that by default the BSD tar is used. Are there any advantages of gtar over tar? If so which ones? Also which compression switch is more efficient -z or -Z ?

Hi all. I am trying to set up an ftp box, have a some problems. I am using vsftp as the ftp server, with IPfilter as a firewall.

Which is the best PDF utility ?
KDE has kpdf, GNOME has gpdf. Both are alright if you want to read. There's also a possibility of running Adobe's Acrobat, but as far as I know it needs Linux emulation. It's the ugliest of the three, but the most functional.

smbclient + tar
Hi all. I use smbclient in conjunction with tar /usr/local/bin/smbclient -d0 //$winpc/$share \ $password -Tc $backupdir/$backupfile $windir to back up work from my Windows PC. I noticed that tar skipped files. If anyone used it, how reliable is it? Also if there are any suggestions to backup stuff from Windows to FreeBSD, they are welcome.

magneto-optical drives
Hi all. I am not sure whether it is the right thread for my kind of question. If it isn't please let me know where to post it. I was wondering if any of the people on this list were able to mount and read (don't need writing) successfully Maxtor magneto-optical drives, or any magneto-optical drive for that matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
