I had it so I could use it like a regular drive.

So basically (correct me if I'm wrong)... I use my CD-RW disks the exact same
way I'd use a CD-R disk, but with my CD-RW disk I have the capability to erase
it and re-use it? At least until UDF support becomes available under FreeBSD?


Thanks for your help.
