I'm currently running 2.1.5-RELEASE and plan to upgrade to 2.2-RELEASE when it is available (I'm skipping 2.1.6 and manually patching security problems.) I'm interested in burning CD-ROM's with my system, and after perusing the FreeBSD web site found some conflicting information -- Jordan's picks of ideal systems note the HP1040i writer to be a great choice, but not work on pre-2.2 SCSI code. The 2.1.5 release notes state: Worm driver - it is now possible to burn CDROMs using the Plasmon or HP 4080i CDR drives (see `wormcontrol(1)'). Which is more accurate? The HP seems to be a cheap and reliable (not to mention dev-team recommended! :) drive that is easily available. I've had some trouble locating the CDR550 Phillips drive.. If I get the HP, can Iuse the burn CD script listed in the archive that turns a file tree into a CD-ROM? Does FreeBSD support burning audio tracks? (not a big issue, but as a side thing, it would be nice :). Thanks, Robert Watson rnw+@andrew.cmu.edu
