Anyway, I decided to try to backup my system. I have a 1.6GB drive with 900MB of free space. I have 16MB of RAM plus 70MB of swap space. When I run mkisofs it quits with an out of swap space error . Is there some way of getting around this?? Would mkisofs options - / | burncd -f /dev/acd1c -e data - fixate work? Also how can I use my cd for multiple sessions?? Every time I try to load a cd that hasn't been fixated my system crashes and reboots. And if I try to burn anything else to the cd it corrupts the disk.
