RE: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html#MKISOFS Last two questions of the day (always learning wondrous things here)!! [1] I'm looking for one big command line to do a `mkisofs -o - /path/to/some/directory/ | burncd -f /dev/acd1c -` etc etc all in one shot, rather than making the ISO (-allowlowercase or whatever too) in RAM, then burning that to a CD-R. Can someone share their aliases or scripts with us? [2] I'm also wondering what experiences you have all had with actually doing it in two steps. More specifically, are there ways to fit directory trees more less almost exactly? I'm thinking of tarring and gzipping the highest directory first, then using mkisofs on that one big file (to transparently mount from cdrom later possibly). Will this work out? Thanks for your service, I'm "burning" for answers (lol), -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
