Thanks breatt. I guess I should've been more specific but I didn't want to go into the growisofs command I was using. I am acatually writing on the fly to a DVD+RW. If I use the command:
growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -R -J /var I get all the subdirectories of /var/ written to my DVD+RW when really I want them all to reside in /var on the DVD+RW. There is no manual for the command growisofs as it utilizes mkisofs and all the mkisofs switches so growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -R -J /var is translated into: mkisofs -graft-points -R -J . | dd of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0 (as the program echos this when it writes). Any ideas?
