A good set that seem to work well together is 'mkisofs' and 'cdrecord' which you will find in the /usr/ports/sysutils directory. There are lots of options detailed in the man pages for both of these programs so take the time to sit down and actually read them. An idea when starting out is to use a rewritable cd so you can have a couple of tries once you work out what you want to do without going through a small pile of CDs. There is also a GUI which runs under X11 called cd-write which apparently is rather nice to use (I haven't had time to look at it yet - am still rebuilding my X Terminal) and this is also found under /usr/ports/sysutils so could well be worth the look if you are after a more one-click sort of deal rather than something you can automate. --Snowy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
