Is this just a typo in your email, or were you really typing "dec"? If you were, maybe that explains the error. > What I want to do is copy a whole directory and burn it > to my cd-rom You can't do that directly. You need to make an "image" of the CD-ROM before you burn it; you can use "mkisofs" from the Ports Collection to do this. Basically, you can say: # mkisofs -o image.iso /home/www/directory # burncd -f /dev/acd0c data image.iso fixate Note that image.iso will be approximately as large as the sum of all the files are going onto the CD. -- Matthew Hunt <mph@astro.caltech.edu> * UNIX is a lever for the http://www.pobox.com/~mph/ * intellect. -J.R.
