Hello world! I have a remark regarding the DVD/BluRay recording, as described in the Handbook, that it currently requires cdrtools-devel package first installed instead of cdrtools, to be able to create filesystem image that supports >4GB per-file-size. Current cdrtools package was released in September 2004 and is outdated as hell, it does not support "-iso-level 3" switch, so it propagates problems to all related recording software like dvd+rw-utils, brasero, k3b, dvdtk, etc... http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-dvds.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html Please take a look at comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc / cdrkit vs. dvd+rw-tools and the dvd iso 4gb max filesize problem The author of the cdrtools suite is involved in the discussion and he declares a new release soon, so the problem might be solved, however I think that it is good idea to add this information about cdrtools-devel package into Handbook documentation, in case of future troubles with cdrtools releases. Best regards, Tomek Cedro ps/2: is it the proper way to add modifications to the FreeBSD Handbook? :-) -- CeDeROM, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
