You should at least check on these things before publically recommending obsolete mechanisms. :) In the world of CAM these days, cdrecord from the ports collection is the way to go. "dd" was also never a good way of writing CDs since the faster models may suffer from data starvation when you use dd, you want to use cdrecord and/or team from the ports collection to do this. And yes, I've burned probably thousands of CDs under FreeBSD at this point and do know what I'm talking about, should Brian wish to vigorously defend the indefensible again on these points. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
