:9. Burn each DVD+RW's first image with:
: growisofs -Z [device] [mkisofs options] [files]
:
: To burn all files in the current directory I
:used:
: growisofs -Z /dev/cd0c -r -l *
:
:10. To burn additional files to the DVD+RW, replace
:'-Z' with '-M' in step 9.
Also note that you can burn a .iso directly using the form:
growisofs -Z device=<isofile>
And also note that when using -M (multi session support) with DVD+R
and DVD-R disks that you are limited to 153 sessions on DVD+R and 2000+ on
DVD-R, plus of course each session introduces a gap on the DVD and
wastes a little extra space because of that. So don't just burn one
file per session. If you intend to burn a lot of files burn as many
files per session as you can.
:Best of luck; and a big "THANKS!" to everyone who

I'm glad you got it working! For myself it's nice to be able to make
permanent archives again. CDRs just don't have enough storage.
